scripts/kallsyms: Avoid ARM veneer symbols

2013-06-24 Thread Arnd Bergmann
When building ARM kernels that exceed a certain size, the linker will add "veneers" that allow long branches. Unfortunately, using a longer kallsyms section may lead to the extra veneers being needed, which leads to inconsistent kallsyms data with the message Inconsistent kallsyms data Try make KA
