upstream EXPORT_SYMBOL() for out of tree module?
Hi all, I have an out of tree module which uses the xlate_dev_mem_ptr() function on x86. I wanted to know if the kernel community would accept a patch to add an EXPORT_SYMBOL() for this kernel with out the corresponding module being upstreamed with it? Thanks for any help, Daniel
