we need the stub name to be different than the kernel name because otherwise 
the debugger will break on the stub function when the users put a break point 
on the kernel.

The kernel handle is a variable. Even if it has the same name as kernel, it is 
OK for the debugger since the debugger does not put break point on a variable.
