Using EXPORT_SYMBOL*() on static functions is fundamentally wrong. Modpost currently reports that as a warning, but clearly this is not a pattern we should allow, and all in-tree occurences should have been fixed by now. So, promote the warn() message to fatal() to make sure this never happens again.
