Should this really be extern ?

I am getting a compilation error while linking the bzImage with this series:
arch/x86/boot/compressed/pagetable.o: In function `kernel_ident_mapping_init':
pagetable.c:(.text+0x336): undefined reference to `kaiser_enabled'
arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile:109: recipe for target 'arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux' failed
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 1
arch/x86/boot/Makefile:112: recipe for target 'arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux' failed
make[1]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 2
arch/x86/Makefile:296: recipe for target 'bzImage' failed
make: *** [bzImage] Error 2

What I did was to remove the extern and EXPORT_SYMBOL(kaiser_enabled) and initialize kaiser_enabled as 0, after that I got a proper bzImage.
