We have the opportunity to move all EXPORT_SYMBOLS() to the place where the functions are defined. The documentation effect that tell the reader: "Hey, I may be used by a module so take extra care" That is enough to warrant the inclusion of this patch. The aim here is IMO not to kill all the *ksyms.c files but rather to document which functions are exported at their definition. I could see there were some comments about different .align and the like. Can I ask you to repolish these bits and submit it to linux-arch.
