My approach preserves the notion that a ksyms entry points to the data
or code, changing the function descriptor to a different name in ksyms.
Your approach breaks that notion and introduces a special case for ia64
ksyms. My approach only needs changes to modutils. Your approach
requires changes to the kernel and to every utility that understands
ksyms. Guess which approach I am doing?
