The current situation is that DDB can find symbols in kld modules.  It is
possible to get gdb to see them too with a carefully crafted
add-symbol-file command.  I seem to remember that you had a gdb macro for
automatically adding symbols for loaded LKMs.  I imagine that writing a
similar script for KLD would be fairly easy.
