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).
