2174efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger.  For
2175efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed.  This
2176efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
2177efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
2178efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
2179efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  using the right API.  (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
2180efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
2181efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  wrong interface to use).  If you really need the symbol, please send a
2182efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
2183efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for

2190dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for

2196dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2197dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
