a ksym BPF iterator would be useful as it would allow more flexible
interactions with kernel symbols than are currently supported; it could
for example create more efficient map representations for lookup,
speed up symbol resolution etc.

The idea was initially discussed here [1].

Changes since RFC [2]:

- change name of iterator (and associated structures/fields) to "ksym" 
  (Andrii, patches 1, 2)
- remove dependency on CONFIG_PROC_FS; it was used for other BPF
  iterators, and I assumed it was needed because of seq ops but I
  don't think it is required on digging futher (Andrii, patch 1)
