Thinking about this some more, if we're going down enabling a new
option, it seems to beg the question if the old *two* ksymtab sections
could just be folded into the a new one where the "gpl only" thing
becomes just one "column" as you call it. Reasons I ask, it seems like
we're duplicating symbol names on ksymtab and for modeversions. Could
you review this a bit?
