Hi all,


I have an out of tree module which uses the xlate_dev_mem_ptr() function on x86. I wanted to know
if the kernel community would accept a patch to add an EXPORT_SYMBOL() for this kernel with
out the corresponding module being upstreamed with it?

Thanks for any help,

Daniel

Nope.  Please work to get the code merged upstream.
