As far as AutoNUMA is concerned I can drop the EXPORT_SYMBOL completely and not allow modules to call this. In fact I could have coded this inside autonuma too. I can change it to _GPL, drop the EXPORT_SYMBOL or move it inside the autonuma code, let me know what you prefer. If I hear nothing I won't make changes.
