summary:     Fix module build by removing duplicate EXPORT_SYMBOL 

x86_32 (no PAE support) 
     1. SLES 9 SP2 on IBM xSeries 305 (512M RAM)
     2. Builds and boots without problems
     3. Able to create domU
     4. Ran LTP on both dom0 and domU
     5. No problems observed

x86_32 (PAE)
     1. SLES 9 SP2, FC3, and RHEL 4 IBM xSeries 305, 235, and
        ThinkCentre
     2. Boots on RHEL 4 and FC3 boxes only.
     3. ISSUES:
             1. Does NOT boot on SLES 9 SP2 boxes, Bugzilla #122
             2. DomU boot crashes Dom0, Bugzilla #168
                     1. Workaround: use swiotlb=force as a kernel
                        parameter when booting Dom0
                     2. DomU boots up normally if using swiotlb=force
             3. X server will not come up on Dom0 on a FC3 box when Xen
                built with PAE 'on', Bugzilla #137

x86_64
     1. SLES 9 SP2 and FC4 on IBM HS20 Blades
     2. Xen builds and boots without problems
     3. Able to create domUs, with network connectivity
             1. 'xend start' does not break the networking on the SLES 9
                boxes now. Yay!
             2. Ran LTP on domU. Need to investigate why LTP seems not
                to have completed.
     4. ISSUES:
             1. Bugzilla #169 - x86_64 - Unable to handle kernel paging
                request at ffff8000003e0000 RIP:
                <ffffffff8015d16c>{unmap_vmas+1084}
