PATCH: forgotten EXPORT_SYMBOL()s on sparc

These two symbols not exported on sparc made my life (well, my evening
anyway) hell (well... long anyway). I couldn't load a bunch of modules, like
sunrpc and ipv6 until I added them.

Note that these two lines are probably in the wrong place in the file.
Bleh, my mailclient is doing evil things to the patch, but it's only two
lines, so it should be clear.

Also, I wonder what the status is for keyboard, mouse and framebuffer is for
2.6.0 on sparc. None of them seem to work right now.

I wanted to get rid of sparc_flush_page_to_ram, but for the
moment it may be better to export it... It probably wants
to be next to phys_base, if anywhere.

The csum_partial is exported by kernel/ksyms.c. Why does it fail?

Not on sparc? Which file do you mean exactly? There doesn't seem to be any 
ksyms.c in the arch-independant part, nor in arch/sparc/. 2.6.0-test9

If fails when I try to modprobe some modules (ipv6, ...) with "Unknown symbol 
csum_partial" or similar. Though I am running a stripped kernel (it wouldn't 
boot otherwise, too big. And yes, I made everything that could be a module a 
module).

framebuffer works perfectly on any sparc i have here, kbd/mouse not working
on sparcs with sunzilog chips.  Hopefully someday i will find the cause or
another person much clever than i would do it.

Peter he's right, kernel/ksyms.c got deleted and all EXPORT_SYMBOL()
instances moved to the site of the implementation.

I'll add a cleaned up version of Thomas's original patch to my tree.
