Perhaps I've misunderstood your concern here. Is it a problem that esp_scsi.ko may or may not export the function, depending on .config? For example, if esp_scsi.ko came from a build with CONFIG_SUN3X_ESP=y && !CONFIG_SCSI_ZORRO_ESP && !CONFIG_SCSI_MAC_ESP, then it would export no esp_send_pio_cmd() symbol. A dummy function (mentioned above) might then avoid a link error from "modprobe zorro_esp" or "modprobe mac_esp" in this scenario. (The modules would load but fail to work properly.) This seems a bit too contrived so I'll post v3 for you to consider.
Please leave the possibly unused exports as-is.
