Just as a BTW; this will become unnecessary soon and plain strip will 
work.  At the moment, kvm_mkdb reads the kernel namelist and stores it at 
bootup.  This is no longer good enough as the namelist changes when things 
are loaded and unloaded, and the kernel keeps a hashed lookup symbol table 
itself already.  It would make sense for kvm_nlist() to look this up 
directly and always get the correct and current values.
