This whole thing got trickier than I expected when I started. At first, I was
just grappling with different functions having the same name.
But during my investigation, it hit me that I've got to handle multiple copies
of the same function too.
So, those addresses labeled with the same name?
They're not just different functions having the same name - they're a mix of
functions that happen to share a name and functions that are the same but come
from different compile units.

Imagine this:
one compile unit defines a function foo1() that uses a bar() from a
shared header.
Another compile unit defines foo2(), also relying on bar().
The snag is, these compile units end up being linked together, carrying their
own copies of bar().
So, if I wanna keep an eye on bar(), which copy should I watch?
The answer depends on whose bar() I want to watch at.
I could go for probing them all, sure, but that's kind of a suboptimal
solution that waters down what I'm trying to achieve.

The way things are being done right now, even though it's nice that it can
track down these copies in the kernel image, it doesn't quite hit the
bullseye of what I was going for. But hey, I'm totally open to putting out
v3 with the limitations I just talked about, and discuss if it can be improved.
