This patch set refactors EXPORT_SYMBOL, <linux/export.h> and <asm/export.h>. Also, re-implement TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS in one-pass. You can still put EXPORT_SYMBOL() in *.S file, very close to the definition, but you do not need to care about whether it is a function or a data. Remove EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL(). In v1, I broke ia64 because of missing distinction between functions and data. V2 handles it correctly. If the exported symbols is a function, KSYMTAB_FUNC is output. Otherwise, KSYMTAB_DATA is output.
