         * Since Linux 4.6 there are two different methods to store the kallsyms addresses
         * in the image.
         *
         * The first and longer existing method is to store the absolute addresses in an
         * array starting at kallsyms_addresses followed by a field which stores the number
         * of kernel symbols called kallsyms_num_syms.
         * The newer method is to use offsets stored in kallsyms_offsets and have a base pointer
         * to relate the offsets to called kallsyms_relative_base. One entry in kallsyms_offsets is
         * always 32bit wide regardless of the guest pointer size (this halves the table on 64bit
         * systems) but means more work for us for the 64bit case.
         *
         * When absolute addresses are used the following assumptions hold:
         *
         *     We assume that the three symbols are aligned on guest pointer boundary.
         *
         *     The boundary between the two tables should be noticable as the number
         *     is unlikely to be more than 16 millions, there will be at least one zero
         *     byte where it is, 64-bit will have 5 zero bytes.  Zero bytes aren't all
         *     that common in the kallsyms_names table.
         *
         *     Also the kallsyms_names table starts with a length byte, which means
         *     we're likely to see a byte in the range 1..31.
         *
         *     The kallsyms_addresses are mostly sorted (except for the start where the
         *     absolute symbols are), so we'll spot a bunch of kernel addresses
         *     immediately preceeding the kallsyms_num_syms field.
         *
         *     Lazy bird: If kallsyms_num_syms is on a buffer boundrary, we skip
         *                the check for kernel addresses preceeding it.
         *
         * For relative offsets most of the assumptions from above are true too
         * except that we have to distinguish between the relative base address and the offsets.
         * Every observed kernel has a valid kernel address fo the relative base and kallsyms_relative_base
         * always comes before kallsyms_num_syms and is aligned on a guest pointer boundary.
         * Offsets are stored before kallsyms_relative_base and don't contain valid kernel addresses.
         *
         * To distinguish between absolute and relative offsetting we check the data before a candidate
         * for kallsyms_num_syms. If all entries before the kallsyms_num_syms candidate are valid kernel
         * addresses absolute addresses are assumed. If this is not the case but the first entry before
         * kallsyms_num_syms is a valid kernel address we check whether the data before and the possible
         * relative base form a valid kernel address and assume relative offsets.
