As to longer term, I am happy to work up something that will spot this
particular kind of failure (symbol changes type) and output something
more useful during the kallsyms generation if you would like.

Are you planning to pull in either of the fixes you mention?

I'm not, because those are all sub-optimal - I don't see why we should
bloat the kernel image just for the sake of working around kallsyms.

The best I've come up with so far which avoids that is to force
KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS to always be set on ARM.

Or just increasing the base number of kallsyms runs on ARM? That way,
you can have a real extra extra pass in the case of something else :)
