kallsyms_seqs_of_names[] records the symbol index sorted by address, the
maximum value in kallsyms_seqs_of_names[] is the number of symbols. And
2^24 = 16777216, which means that three bytes are enough to store the
index. This can help us save (1 * kallsyms_num_syms) bytes of memory.

You can get the compiler to do the 'heavy lifting' for you.

struct uint24 {
    unsigned int val24:24;
} __attribute__((packed));

struct uint24 table[1024];

works fine.
