Ah yes, this is a known issue. We use TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS with LTO in
Android's Generic Kernel Image and the problem is that bitcode doesn't
yet contain calls to these functions, so autoksyms won't see them. The
solution is to use a symbol whitelist with LTO to prevent these from
being trimmed. I suspect we would need a default whitelist for LTO
builds.
