And when you do, almost all new exports are EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL - not
EXPORT_SYMBOL.

Also, I'd like to see how those exports are going to be used. An EDAC
driver function exported to another driver sounds strange. We have only
one other case like this in the EDAC tree:

drivers/edac/amd64_edac.c:554:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(amd64_get_dram_hole_info);

and even that is not really needed...

Thx.
