2178dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2179dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2180dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,

2183dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2184dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2185dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
