I'm not working on this (and I've not time to work on any kernel stuff, currently), as you might have guessed (even from the lack of an answer).
You could maybe help yourself, and you could also suggest this task to kernel-janitors (look for it on Google, it's a collection of simple tasks for wannabe kernel hackers).
The problem is that cleaning up such stuff isn't always trivial, one must find out why there is a mention of an unknown symbol, and fix the original problem. If one discover that some source is never built, maybe the symbol should be reintroduced. And so on.
