IOW, from proprietary drivers. It makes me uncomfortable how many
non-GPL symbols we're adding (or converting) in this effort, but I'm
trying to look objectively at every export as to whether a non-GPL
caller of the function is legitimately separate from in-kernel code.
For instance are they making use of data structures intrinsic to GPL'd
code. In this case we're converting a symbol that's just manipulating
a data buffer to add an offset to each element in a chain. The entries
are documented in a uapi header. Kirti asked me about this one, and I
couldn't find any basis to raise an objection. If you spot any reason
that any of the export symbols in these series really should be GPL,
please raise the issue.

Yeah, generally squashing patches together is the opposite of what we
want for review and bisect. In this case the symbol exports should
avoid any defined-but-unused warnings. Thanks,
