 * Name: modsym
 *
 * Description:
 *   modsym() returns the address of a symbol defined within the object that
 *   was previously made accessible through a insmod() call.  handle is the
 *   value returned from a call to insmod() (and which has not since been
 *   released via a call to rmmod()), name is the symbol's name as a
 *   character string.
 *
 *   The returned symbol address will remain valid until rmmod() is called.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   handle - The opaque, non-NULL value returned by a previous successful
 *            call to insmod().
 *   name   - A pointer to the symbol name string.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   The address associated with the symbol is returned on success.
 *   If handle does not refer to a valid module opened by insmod(), or if
 *   the named symbol cannot be found within any of the objects associated
 *   with handle, modsym() will return NULL and the errno variable will be
 *   set appropriately.
 *
 *   NOTE: This means that the address zero can never be a valid return
 *   value.
