Both.  Though, for remote debugging, gdb uses the kernel image to get
the symbols.  On the m5 side, the symbols can be used for execution
tracing.  Also, I forgot to mention that we use symbols so we can trap
certain functions.  For example, we can emulate the kernel dprintk
instead of executing it so it goes faster.  We emulate busy loops
instead of executing them, etc.
