What kind of out-of-tree modules do you need/want for this? And why do
they somehow have to be out of the tree? We want them in the tree, and
so should you, as it will save you time and money if they are.
Also, as Christoph said, adding exports for functions that are not used
by anything within the kernel tree itself is not ok, that's not how we
work.
thanks,
