Sam,

We have a case in powerpc in which we want to link some library routines with all module objects. The routines are intended for handling out-of-line function call register save/restore so having them as EXPORT_SYMBOL() is counter productive (we do also need to link the same "library" code into the kernel).


Why is having them as an EXPORT_SYMBOL() counterproductive? It sounds like *exactly* what you need -- and then having the kernel provide the same code to modules, instead of replication...?
