Not sure if I understand you correct, but on my stock Fedora 9 host:
[~]$ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep sys_call_table
c0676a30 R sys_call_table
It is there as well ... did I misread your original post?

Just for informing anyone interested, and for completeness sake, I must
say that I finally found out what was causing this weird behavior in Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is (as far as I tested) the only major distribution that ships
its kernels with the option KALLSYMS_ALL enabled in the kernel's config
file.
This is what is causing the sys_call_table symbol (and many more too),
to appear in the /proc/kallsyms file.
I've contacted the Ubuntu folks asking for a reasoning for this.
Thanks for letting us know. I guess they want to locate certain
symbols but they don't want to alter any kernel source code (e.g feed
it into EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() )
regards,
Mulyadi.
