>Description:

Kernel backtraces get "nice" formated names, but unfortunately those are
not always helpfull with modern gcc and inlining.

For example I got this part of a backtrace from a panic:

rtwn_start.part.0() at netbsd:rtwn_start.part.0+0x61
rtwn_transmit() at netbsd:rtwn_transmit+0xb0
[...]

Unfortunately I can not use these addresses for gdb:

(gdb) list *(rtwn_start.part.0+0x61)
A syntax error in expression, near `.0+0x61)'.

addr2line does not deal with them either.

It would be helpfull if just the raw address value would be printed
in an extra column.

 Log Message:

 This is gross; perhaps we should hide them completely (not print them
 in stack traces etc.)
