That last patch, while correcting the caching in opd_entry_value, makes
addr2line, objdump -S etc. as slow as it was before.  In fact, the cache makes
it even slower!  When you consider that opd_entry_value gets called from a loop
over symbols within elf_find_function, the reason is obvious: We sequentially
look at all function symbols on each call to elf_find_function so nothing can
be cached.  Well, there may be some benefit in caching the entire .opd section
to avoid making syscalls, but it turns out the section search in
opd_entry_value is the most expensive operation.  Investigating..
