Hi!

I don't know what I have to do to make ddb work with kernel symbols.

I understand that ksyms_init() is called during system startup with the
start- and end-address of the ELF file, containing the symbols. But making
the loader transfer the whole ELF file into memory can't be the solution,
because I have to clear the BSS space, which overwrites the symbols at the
end of the file.

How is it done on other PPC ports?
