But totally misses this :(
"<no-sym>" would be better returned when !CONFIG_KALLSYMS, right?
No, we still want those configurations to be debuggable.
If !CONFIG_KALLSYMS, we'll just continue print the hex number. It's not a
normal configuration, leaking an address there is fine, and preferable to
"cannot debug"
