symbol_get() appears to be the more robust and dominant interface for
this, why use __symbol_get()?

-ENODEV seems preferable to -1, but shouldn't this really be a void
function?

Again, I don't see the value in storing the enum, since the table is
static, it could just as easily be the array index and avoid this loop,
but we can avoid it anyway with symbol_put_addr().
