drivers in the kernel directory have symbol files. When I build my driver, it

Use 'make DEBUG=-g' when building the module.

Just grab the kgdb sources from RELENG_7 and apply the to your 7.0 tree and 
build a new kgdb.  It is also probably safe to just grab a kgdb binary from a 
newer 7.x snapshot directly.
