No need to bug the janitors, I created a few patches myself:
1. Convert all in-kernel users of the deprecated EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS() to
EXPORT_SYMBOL().
2. Now all users of the deprecated EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS are gone, ctags
doesn't have to care about it anymore.
3. Remove deprecated EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS() support from UML.
4. Remove deprecated EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS() support completely.

The last patch may be delayed until 2.7 because of backwards compatibility
reasons for out-of-tree drivers.

All patches are untested, but Obviously Correct(TM).

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
