These would appear to be false:

#ifdef CONFIG_MODULES
#define __init_or_module
#define __initdata_or_module
#else
#define __init_or_module __init
#define __initdata_or_module __initdata
#endif /*CONFIG_MODULES*/

and:

#else /* !CONFIG_MODULES... */
#define EXPORT_SYMBOL(sym)
#define EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(sym)
#define EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE(sym)
#define EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL(sym)
#define EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPL(sym)

means that in the modules case, they aren't marked as __init and are
exported, but in the non-modular case they are marked as __init but
not exported.

Hence, export symbols marked as __init_or_module is safe.

These are definitely buggy.
