It's been useful at least to me as I have had to look older
kernels a lot as well :/
The inclusion of kallsyms is a kernel compile option. To reduce space
some embedded systems might choose to not create kallsyms, or the proc
file system. In those case, ksymoops would be useful. At least for the
symbols that are part of the compiled kernel. Dynamically loaded modules
would be an issue. However, an embedded system may compile all modules
into the kernel.
