Whoa, whoa, slow down.  This doesn't address all the things I
mentioned (EXPORT_SYMBOL, for example).  But four postings in 90
minutes is way too much.  There's no hurry, everybody has other things
to do, and we can only assimilate a reposting every few days.  That
way others have a chance to respond with additional feedback, and you
can address it all at once.

When you do post an updated version, consider adding a brief changelog
(e.g., what changed between v8 and v9) below the "---" line so we know
what to look for.
