That's the way, I think. Expect a patch soon (in days, since just right now I don't feel very well ... an inflammation to the throat :) that will extend the saved data. I will save system.map and .config, and a patch to have a file in /proc/sys/kernel/boot_image_path to read and set the boot image ... and as much of you noted, we could discard the kernel space /proc/ksyms_internal and the like, since they are not needed if we know the position of the booted image. Anyway I think it will stay into the kernel for the reasons explained in another e-mail.
Ciao, Riccardo.
