Really agree, and I guess that there may be more structures and their offsets
to be exported, for example: struct prb_desc_ring, struct prb_data_ring, and
struct prb_desc, etc.

This makes sure that tools(such as makedumpfile and crash) can appropriately
access them.

It makes sense and avoids exporting unnecessary symbols and offsets.

Thanks.
