It does, but there's one big snag.  How do you deal with setups like diskless
booting of workstations?

Perhaps the real solution is to make the kernel symbol table available in
kernel memory somehow, since that's what you're really interested in.  If
you did that, then you could make it so LKM's could add their symbols to
the table as well, so you could debug them with DDB.  But that also has it's
drawbacks.
