Juniper needs to be able to call functions in the loadable modules before
the modules are actually linked into the kernel. This will be used to
call platform specific initialization functions early in the bootup
process.  Will also need un-static link_elf_preload_parse_symbols,
parse_dynamic, symbol_name, link_elf_lookup_symbol,
link_elf_symbol_values.
