Is there an in-kernel use for that export?
I sincerely dont know... Although: - * NOTE: CONFIG_PARAVIRT is experimental and the paravirt_ops - * semantics are subject to change. Hence we only do this - * internal-only export of this, until it gets sorted out and - * all lowlevel CPU ops used by modules are separately exported.
Makes me think there was a "good enough" reason to export instead of export GPL and that it "could" be usefull to keep the same behaviour for that same experimental feature under 2.6.20 / 2.6.21. Although, the "until it gets sorted out" makes me think it might planned to get removed before the end of 2.6.22
Thnx.
