How 'bout if after linking the dwarf information is twisted into something that can be used to compare symbol types? I don't know enough about dwarf, but seems like something can be done. Perhaps one can post-process the dwarf information into something small and efficient.
Hmm... that would probably work. It would mean that we would have to require that the kernel and the modules be all compiled -g at least initially, and then having a separate post-processing pass run to distill out the type information, but it could be made to work.
