A script that uses the '<module>.ns_deps' file generated by modpost to automatically add the required symbol namespace dependencies to each module. Usage: 1) Move some symbols to a namespace with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() or define DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE 2) Run 'make' (or 'make modules') and get warnings about modules not importing that namespace. 3) Run 'make nsdeps' to automatically add required import statements to said modules. This makes it easer for subsystem maintainers to introduce and maintain symbol namespaces into their codebase.

I really can't express just how cool this patch is. I was amazed when I first saw it in action a long time ago, and still am. Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
