2172dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2173dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2174dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2175dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2176dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre
2177dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2178dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2179dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2180dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  binary size.  This might have some security advantages as well.
