    Note that just because an interface is EXPORT_SYMBOL doesn't mean that
    the interface is guaranteed to be stable. So folks who are aruging
    that an interface shouldn't be usable by non-GPL applications because
    we are therefore guaranteeing a stable API are making an unwarranted
    assumption.
