Why does the SYM2 driver possible even need this symbol?
That's what I'd like to have explained.
When this slipped into the Ubuntu kernel, I pushed back on it because
the usage was bogus, and I fear this is the same exact thing rearing
it's ugly head.
There is no reason to export this symbol outside of the generic PCI
code, which does not require a module symbol export.
