symbols: Generate an xen-sym.map

symbols: Generate an xen-sym.map

You could construct _most_ of the names of the functions
by doing 'nm --defined' but unfortunatly you do not get the
<file> prefix that is added on in Xen . For example:

$ cat xen-syms.symbols |grep do_domain_pause
0xffff82d080104920 t domain.c#do_domain_pause
$ nm --defined xen-syms|grep do_domain_pause
ffff82d080104920 t do_domain_pause

This is normally not an issue, but if one is doing livepatching and
wants during build-time verify that the symbols the livepatch payloads
will patch do correspond to the one the hypervisor has built - this helps a lot.

Note that during runtime one can do:
[root@localhost xen]# cat /proc/xen/xensyms |grep do_domain_pause
ffff82d080104920 t domain.c#do_domain_pause

But one may not want to build and verify a livepatch on the same host.
