Hi
what is the reason for symbols being exported from ksyms.c instead of
the files they are defined in?
thanks
Jani

Historically you had to explicitly specify which files exported symbols
in the makefile. That's not true any more, and recent style seems to be
to do what you suggest. But it's not really worth the trouble of
redistributing the stuff in ksyms.c except as part of other patches IMHO
