Subject[RFC PATCH 5/8] kallsyms: convert the kallsyms storage to store the type separately
Date
In order to quickly access the symbol type field it must be stored in
its own character array. Historically the kallsysms symbol type field
was stored as the first character of the name.

This patch introduces the kallsyms_type_table for looking up a symbol
type immediately. This new table will be used for fast comparisons to
determine if a kallsym reference is a symbol or a line location.
