PowerPC kernel is of DYN type and it has a base address where it is
initially loaded, before being relocated. As the start address passed to
pmcstat_image_link() is where the kernel was relocated to, but the symbols
always use the original base address, we need to subtract it to get the
correct offset.

Modules from ports/pkg are commonly installed to /boot/modules rather than to
the same directory the kernel resides in. Look there if a module is not found
next to the kernel.

library -- libpmcstat.
This includes PMC logging module, symbols lookup functions,
ELF parsing, process management, PMC attachment, etc.
This allows to reuse code while building new hwpmc(4)-based applications.
Also add pmcstat_symbol_search_by_name() function that allows to find
mapped IP range for a given function name.
