We have not seen any reports on inconsistent kallsysms data recently as in the last one or two years. At least I do not recall these and google had no hits in my searching. So I suggest removing this as to simplify the final linking. When doing "make allyesconfig" build this extra linking takes considerably time (and I usually forgoet to turn it off).
I don't remember any recent (read: in the last few years) problems either, so I guess this is ok.
In addition this patch removes the debug target: debug_kallsyms
This might be useful if changes in some binutils version creates new problems for kallsyms, but it doesn't seem like a lot of work to just send a reporter a patch to add this back if needed. Since there haven't been any reports in a few years, I have no problems with this.
