 * Name: symtab_findbyvalue
 *
 * Description:
 *   Find the symbol in the symbol table whose value closest (but not greater
 *   than), the provided value. This version assumes that table is not ordered
 *   with respect to symbol name and, hence, access time will be linear with
 *   respect to nsyms.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   A reference to the symbol table entry if an entry with the matching
 *   name is found; NULL is returned if the entry is not found.
 *
