Nope.

m32r_ksyms.c is not having any reference to the name. If you want to 
remove the extern from the C file then I think we should declare it in 
some header file and include that in the m32r_ksyms.c. And if that works 
then that can be applied to all the other arch also, as almost all of 
them have these externs in *_ksyms.c.
