First back up the kernel and corresponding modules directory before
attempting to strip these object files.
strip should be applied to the uncompressed kernel, vmlinux (not vmlinuz).
# strip -R .comment -R .note vmlinux
# find /lib/modules/<version> -name \*.o -exec strip -R .comment -R .note {} \;
