Frank
 Out intention is,  If user doesn't have the debuginfo package and he wants do 
function boundry tracing then kprobe-specific symbol-name approach helps.

In that direction, We need to read just function name from the script and 
assign it to kp.symbol_name. Then kernel API's will resolve the symbol_name to 
address and probes the instruction.

Please let me know your views on this.

Thanks
Srinivasa DS
