+		Normally kallsyms contains compressed symbols (using a token table),
+		reducing the uncompressed kernel image size. Keeping the symbol table
+		uncompressed significantly improves the size of this part in compressed
+		kernel images.
+
+		Say N unless you need compressed kernel images to be small.
