[PATCH] kallsyms: verify that System.map is stable
Verify that linking kallsyms into vmlinux generates a stable System.map,
instead of assuming that it is stable.
Add CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS as a temporary workaround for unstable maps,
so users can proceed while waiting for kallsyms to be fixed.
