[ Adding Masahiro to CC ]

It looks like CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS had been hiding behind
CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS all this time, and once the EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL
stuff was removed, it exposed that option to be selected by
allyesconfig. That option had previously caused build issues on
powerpc on linux-next, so I had temporarily marked that as BROKEN on
powerpc until Masahiro's fix landed in linux-next. I was not aware of
the additional build slowdown issue :/ In any case, Christoph's
suggestion to invert the option sounds reasonable, since the mips
defconfig selects it, it does not seem totally unused.
