1926dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
1927dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
1928dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
1929dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  many of those exported symbols might never be used.

1931dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
1932dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
1933dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
