Instead of hardcoding KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN everywhere, will it better to hide 
it like this:

         extern int __sprint_symbol(char *buffer, size_t size, unsigned 
long address);
         #define sprint_symbol(buf, addr)        __sprint_symbol(buf, 
sizeof(buf), addr)

Or you can use sizeof(buf) directly instead of KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN.
