[PATCH 0/2] Bug 28954 - add Linux Kernel symbol namespace support

[Giuliano Procida <gprocida@google.com>]

Hi Dodji.

These two patches aim to add kernel symbol namespace support. There
are two bits of this that could be debated (and easily changed).

A. choice of XML attribute name

I've chosen "ns", mostly because "namespace" implies C++ namespace
everywhere else.

B. choice of representation

There are several possible levels of distinction of presence:

1. Non-kernel symbols cannot be exported to a namespace.
2. Kernel symbols can be exported globally and not to namespace.
3. Kernel symbols can be exported to a named namespace.

And there is the option of treating the empty namespace name string
specially. I've chosen to represent namespace internally as
optional<string> and not distinguish between cases 1 and 2.

Regards.
