If this is the case, I'd like to contribute my implementation of the ELF
symbol support for loadable kernel modules on 1.5.2. This should improve
the debuggability of the NetBSD kernel. Woul you or someone on the
mailing list explain to me what the process of integrating my code is,
please?
Regards,
Wesley Chen
