Responding to an old post here.
I have only recently integrated Ram's patches except for the kbuild integration bits. On top of this Andreas' license compatibility thing so in effect: building a GPL module (or compatible) => no change building a GPL-incompatible module => warn if module uses EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE error out if module uses EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
Patches are in kbuild.git. The script to show module export statistics is not yet merged, I've asked Ram to fix a few things first.
