Thanks!

This patch removes the is-exported bit from the last patch and
implements a complete type char, so that /proc/kallsyms
resembles better the System.map file.

In fact, if compiled with KALLSYMS_ALL the only differences
between /proc/kallsyms and System.map are the symbols that are
left out on purpose: types 'A' and 'U', and kallsyms_xxx.

I removed these symbols from System.map and diff'ed against
/proc/kallsyms and the files where completely identical :)

The System.map file occupied about 980Kb whereas the kallsyms data
needed to generate the same output occupied about 440Kb.

The patch should apply over the last one, in case someone wants
to test it, without needing the -mm snapshot.

I'm sending it attached this time to avoid the problems we had the
last time.

Comments, suggestions, flames are always welcome :)
