There doesn't seem to be any way to verify that a System.map file matches up with the running kernel or with an oops. It is better to get hex than garbage. This affects /bin/ps at least, and I'd expect it to affect ksymoops too.
Perhaps the following header wouldn't break existing code:
c0100000 A kernel_cookie_is_bae28feb0bf63cce
The data could be created from /dev/urandom when the kernel is compiled, printed with an oops, and available in /proc.
