Symbol flags is an enumeration used to represent flags as a bitset, for example a flag to tell if a symbol is GPL only.
The said bitset is introduced in subsequent patches and will contain values of kernel symbol flags. These bitset will then be used to infer flag values rather than fragmenting ksymtab for separating symbols with different flag values, thereby eliminating the need to fragment the ksymtab.
