…f locked symbols. The kabi.locked_list file is used by an upstream tool called `kabi` which will be introduced in following commits, it will be useful to get more information on type changes that lead to a kABI change. Signed-off-by: Quentin Casasnovas <quentin.casasnovas@vates.tech>

The symbol locked list tracks all symbols our binary kernel modules depend on,
such that we can more easily track kABI changes to our dom0 kernel that are
impacting binary drivers we maintain.
It will be used in conjonction with a tool called
kabi, that allows to present theexact type changes that lead to an exported symbol kABI change, as opposed to
simply the exported symbol like with the
check-kabiscript included in the Linuxsource tree.
This pull-request is the first in a series adding tools and documentation on maintaining
our dom0 kernel - for extra context, the final state can be seen here (the final README
especially):
