Subject: kallsyms: nuke all ChangeLog, this should be logged by git
From: Bryan Wu <cooloney@xxxxxxxxxx>
Pointed out by Paulo:
"When I wrote this initially, it was a mistake to add a Changelog
in the first place, but I didn't know better at the time.
If you're going to make changes to this file, please remove all the Changelog,
instead of adding more entries to it. The "Changelog" should be kept by the
version control system, and not the source code itself."

* Table compression uses all the unused char codes on the symbols and
* maps these to the most used substrings (tokens). For instance, it might
* map char code 0xF7 to represent "write_" and then in every symbol where
