I couldn't quickly figure out how to recover the uncompressed kernel from
the vmlinuz (lzma) short of recompiling.  Here's the relevant section of System.map
if that's of any use....

# grep 'ffffffff817d0' /boot/System.map-2.6.36-rc4-00166-g151b6a5 
ffffffff817d0190 T usbhid_lookup_quirk

ffffffff817d05e0 t hiddev_lookup_report
ffffffff817d0690 t hiddev_write
ffffffff817d06b0 t hiddev_poll

ffffffff817d0c70 t hiddev_ioctl_usage

If there's a tool to expand vmlinuz => vmlinux, I love to hear about it.  If you
need me to recompile to get what you need, I can do that.

If you give me a patch with exactly the debug stuff you want, I can compile that instead.

Unfortunately, I have some work to do later today that I have to boot this box into Windows
for (CADD), so my compiling and testing window is narrow (until tomorrow).
