This installs a silent breakpoint on the do_init_module function. The
breakpoint handler will try to load symbols from the module files found
during lx-symbols execution. This way, breakpoints can be set to module
initialization functions, and there is no need to explicitly call
lx-symbols after (re-)loading a module.

This is probably the most useful helper when debugging kernel modules:
lx-symbols first reloads vmlinux. Then it searches recursively for *.ko
files in the specified paths and the current directory. Finally it walks
the kernel's module list, issuing the necessary add-symbol-file command
for each loaded module so that gdb knows which module symbol corresponds
to which address. It also looks up variable sections (bss, data, rodata)
and appends their address to the add-symbole-file command line. This
allows to access global module variables just like any other variable.

This provides the basic infrastructure to load kernel-specific python
helper scripts when debugging the kernel in gdb.
The loading mechanism is based on gdb loading for <objfile>-gdb.py when
opening <objfile>. Therefore, this places a corresponding link to the
main helper script into the output directory that contains vmlinux.
The main scripts will pull in submodules containing Linux specific gdb
commands and functions. To avoid polluting the source directory with
compiled python modules, we link to them from the object directory.
Due to gdb.parse_and_eval and string redirection for gdb.execute, we
depend on gdb >= 7.2.
This feature is enabled via CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS.
