Previously, the -i option had two functions; load a symbol dump file, and set the external_module flag. I want to assign a dedicate option for each of them. Going forward, the -i is used to load a symbol dump file, and the -e to set the external_module flag. With this, we will be able to use -i for loading in-kernel symbols.
