I wrote a little tool in Python that, when given an xmon stack trace
on the command line, gives you a list of the equivalment function
names by sifting through System.map (xmonstacktrace must be run in the
same directory as System.map).
Now, the great thing would be to have this included in xmon with the
bootloader beeing able to load the System.map along with the kernel. I
think Cort already "prepared" for this in 2.3.x.

Another thing that would be useful: Currently, xmon works in "on-screen"
mode on all PMU-based machines. It would probably be easy to add this
capability to CUDA and other PS/2 like machines. It would be a bit more
difficult for the USB keyboards since a special polling routine should be
added to the OHCI driver, but since the new macs lacks serial ports...
