Why are the kernel symbols stored in the m5 checkpoints?
Because the kernel is saved in the checkpoint memory. We could just
extract the symbols from the provided binary a second time, but it
just seemed safer this way. Also, I believe that symbols can be
dynamically added to the system at runtime, so we need to keep track
of those.

I am not proposing removing those symbols, but it is still not clear to
why the simulator would need to know where the symbols reside in the
memory? Secondly, given a memory image, how would you extract the symbols?
