+ help
+ 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.
