Would it be possible to feed dwarfextract a file that a list of files to
concatenate types from?  You could generate the file by doind a find on
/lib/modules to get all the symbols from the kernel modules.  Much of
the really juicy stuff (like nfs, xfs, etc. structs) are in kernel
modules.  It would be useful to be able to easily generate a big unified
kerntypes file that contained all the structs.
