Some architectures have unusual symbol names and the generic code to
match the symbol name with the function name for the syscall metadata
will fail. For example, symbols on PPC64 start with a period and the
generic code will fail to match them.

This patch splits out the match logic into a standalone weak function
that can be overridden on archs with unusual symbol names.

Ian, I assume you will implement the support for the "special" ppc_*
syscalls via a subsequent patch and not a respin of this one right ?

Cheers,
Ben.

Yes, that will be in a separate patch or two.
