So the list is: ia64, powerpc, riscv
and they all seem to do it because of KVM:
c4cb768f0277 ("[IA64] export smp_send_reschedule")
de56a948b918 ("KVM: PPC: Add support for Book3S processors in hypervisor mode")
d3d7a0ce020e ("RISC-V: Export kernel symbols for kvm")
Other archs get out of it either because their smp_send_reschedule() is
inline (e.g. x86), or because they don't allow building KVM as a module
(e.g. arm64).
If I can cobble the tracepoint+reschedule in an inline helper, then that
wouldn't require any new exports - I'm fighting a bit with the header maze
ATM, but hopefully I can get somewhere with this.
