Hi, Masahiro, After apply this patch, I get the following modpost warnings when doing: $ make M=tools/tesing/nvdimm ... Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 12 modules WARNING: tools/testing/nvdimm/libnvdimm: 'nvdimm_bus_lock' exported twice. Previous export was in drivers/nvdimm/libnvdimm.ko WARNING: tools/testing/nvdimm/libnvdimm: 'nvdimm_bus_unlock' exported twice.

There are a lot of these warnings. :) If I revert this patch, no complaints.
