The '-m' option to insmod will produce a loadmap. This information
can be used to decode EIP and call trace info from a kernel "Oops" or
GPF in the case where the error was in a module.

It would be nice if ksymoops could be extended to take one or more of
these loadmaps as additional command line arguments. If any c++
programmers out there are looking for a way to contribute without
learning the ins and outs of the kernel this might be a nice thing to
try.
