Possible fix: rejects symbols in .odp section

Hmmm.  Apparently at least some function-descriptor symbols like do_exit show
up in elf as type STT_FUNC even though nm labels them "D".  (You don't see this
problem with --kmap=/proc/kallsyms --ignore-vmlinux, do you?)  One way to
screen these out is to reject all symbols in the .opd section.	The attached
patch does that.  Please give it a try and let me know how it works.
