Hmm, that looks weird to me. If exporting static symbols is permitted,
shouldn't the symbols be marked global by EXPORT_SYMBOL() then?
The following code seems to mark a static symbol global just fine:
static int test = 0; asm(".global test");
so there should be no problem with doing the same in EXPORT_SYMBOL().
