This heuristic is applicable to any case when an address inside a module can not be decoded to any known symbol. e.g. anyone can still build with ----strip-all though module load fails with this option. but one can add or remove symbols manually or use objcopy or some other utility to play with symbols. It does not matter for functionality much if symbols are available or not and it is just that symbol decodes in traces are not providing help as it displays absolute address in such cases. There are several options in strip command and we can't have kconfig for each such option. All options are supported currently unless the module is so broken that it can even be loaded ( e.g. --strip-all option). Vimal
