On arm64, when KASLR is enabled, a function call between a module and
the kernel will be done via a veneer (PLT) if the displacement is more
than +/-128MB. So disassembled code looks a bit useless:

===>8===
Is there any method to resolve such kind of indirect addressing
to a symbolic name at dis command?
(It may be difficult to discriminate PLT from normal branches, though).
