Currently, System.map contains a significant number of automatically
generated symbols. These symbols are unnecessary for debugging since
they represent individual elements of the exported symbol and PCI device
tables, yet represent about 60% of the symbols in System.map. This
patch adds a filter to remove these symbols. In doing so, I split out
the filter patterns to a seperate file, avoiding more clutter in the
Makefile.
