System.map is a lookup table of kernel symbols, so various programs
can display a symbolic name, rather than just a meaningless address.
ps only uses this for the largely undocumented WCHAN field, so unless
you're using that, you can safely ignore the error.

The obvious way to get rid of the error is to recompile your kernel
and ensure that System.map and your running kernel actually match...
