module: Sort exported symbols
This patch places every exported symbol in its own section
(i.e. "___ksymtab+printk"). Thus the linker will use its SORT() directive
to sort and finally merge all symbol in the right and final section
(i.e. "__ksymtab").
The symbol prefixed archs use an underscore as prefix for symbols.
To avoid collision we use a different character to create the temporary
section names.
This work was supported by a hardware donation from the CE Linux Forum.
