I'd suppose 11 here is `sizeof "___ksymtab+" - 1' ? Why not making
that explicit though a macro, ala:
#define SEC_NAME_MATCH(name, str) (strncmp(name, str, strlen(str) - 1) == 0)
This would avoid bug in the future if the string is updated but not
the size, and/or copy paste error where only the string is changed.
