Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/3] kallsyms: fix type of kallsyms_token_table[]

unsigned char maybe? I understand printable chars unlikely to cause
any trouble and probably a non issue, but the domain is different for
char, and while I don't know of supported implementations where sizeof
char isn't a byte, I think it's a possibility and perhaps why u8 was
in use?
