I just added this to the PPC debugger and the strongARM panic code when I
realized that I'm going to have to add this to MIPS, too. Rather than
that, I'll send it here with the hope that someone finds it useful.
Consider this my contribution at the kernel-debugger and other dangerous
technologies altar.
Given an address, it prints out the symbolic name for it by digging
through the module symbol table rather than stuffing gobs of system.map
data into the kernel image. It'll only pick up on EXPORT_SYMBOL() symbols
but it's a lot better than having to figure out what has happened in a
module that I've loaded on an embedded board with now r/w filesystem.
