From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name>
Subject: kernel: add a config option for keeping the kallsyms table uncompressed, saving ~9kb kernel size after lzma on ar71xx

[john@phrozen.org: added to my upstream queue 30.12.2016]

+		Normally kallsyms contains compressed symbols (using a token table),
+		reducing the uncompressed kernel image size. Keeping the symbol table
+		uncompressed significantly improves the size of this part in compressed
