... and if somebody thinks that replacing
int foo(void *bar); plus EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
with
int __foo(void *bar, int baz); static int foo(void *bar) { return __foo(bar, 0); } plus EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(__foo);
is going to save you from aforementioned killer penguins, keep in mind that there are worse and slower ways to go and you might not like learning them first-hand.
