I believe that this was fixed in 1.99.  Which GRUB version did you
use?  I tried with GRUB trunk, and ksyms seem fine (for 5.1 and
-current kernels).

However, as mentioned in the PR, multibooting with NetBSD's boot
loader does (still) break ksyms.  IIRC, the multiboot implementation
in the boot loader is purposely minimal (the goal is to boot Xen).
