In gdb, do
call LoaderPrintSymbol(0x106935a4)
and it will print the function to the server log. For better
debuggability, use a static server (#define DoLoadableServer NO in
host.def), beware that AFAIK rivafb and the nv driver are known not to
like each other; you may get better results with OFfb.
