    Several refactorings were needed so that we can have symmetry
    between dsos__load_modules() and dsos__load_kernel(), i.e. those
    functions will respectively create and add to the dsos list the
    loaded modules and kernel, with its buildids, but not load its
    symbols. That is something the subcomands that need will have to
    call dso__load_kernel_sym(), just like we do with modules with
    dsos__load_module_sym()/dso__load_module_sym().
    
    Next csets will actually use this info to stop producing bogus
    results using mismatched vmlinux and .ko files.
