What order? Can you ellaborate a bit more? I thought more about keeping
whatever address is in the symtab from where we read the symbols, and
then create one map per kernel module all pointing to the same DSO, that
would be the one loaded from kallsyms.

Any adjustments would be fone in the map, not the DSO.

I.e. we wouldn't be splitting anything, just creating struct map
instances pointing to the same DSO.
