Cleanup opportunity! :)

These files are left over from 2.0.XX module symbol days, when the symbols
were in explicit tables that got passed to register_symtab. With the new
ELF-segment approach, nothing in the 2.1.XX kernel uses these any more.

files=`find * -type f -print | sort`
vi `egrep -l 'symtab_begin|symtab_end' $files`
rm include/linux/symtab_begin.h
rm include/linux/symtab_end.h
