Is this a problem today?  I don't see it being one, so when you need
this function exported, we can do it then.  Otherwise people will just
start sending me patches unexporting it as they don't see any in-kernel
users of it :)

So just keep it as part of your patchset, it's easier for everyone that
way.

And it will remind me to verify that you really should be calling
kobject_rename and not just getting the name correctly the first time
around...{hint}

thanks,
