As was already stated on this mailing list, it's a text file that contains
memory addresses of kernel symbols.  That's it.  Here's a small sample
from mine:

00100000 T _stext
00100000 T stext
00100000 t startup_32
001000bc t isnew
00100116 t is486
00100127 t is386
0010017d t L6
0010017f t check_x87
001001aa t setup_idt
001001c7 t rp_sidt
001001e0 t setup_paging
00101000 T swapper_pg_dir
00102000 T pg0
00103000 T empty_bad_page
00104000 T empty_bad_page_table
00105000 T empty_zero_page
00106000 t stack_start
00106010 T idt


It's relatively useless unless you're working on kernel related stuff
(like debugging a kernel Oops message).
