Fixup may be registered within a module, which barebox kallsyms doesn't
yet support.

Will fix.

The command is meant for quick testing. To make sense of context pointers,
a map file or an instrumented barebox is needed, so it's not that useful
to be able to filter by context pointer IMO.

I can drop it, sure.
