Re-send [PATCH] : Validating address in runtime

[Wenji Huang]

Hi,

Regarding PR6646, seems no good way to solve it. I just think maybe 
double checking the address in runtime to make things safer.

This patch adds validating address vs name mapping in runtime for 
several symbols which are used in initializing process.	So kernel oops 
could be early avoided in case of incorrect vmlinux or wrong address.

Any comments are welcome.

Regards,
Wenji
