*
* Table compression uses all the unused char codes on the symbols and
* maps these to the most used substrings (tokens). For instance, it might
* map char code 0xF7 to represent "write_" and then in every symbol where
* "write_" appears it can be replaced by 0xF7, saving 5 bytes.
* The used codes themselves are also placed in the table so that the
* decompresion can work without "special cases".
* Applied to kernel symbols, this usually produces a compression ratio
* of about 50%.
