[PATCH] remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(kallsyms_lookup)

[Greg KH]

Hi,

Distros have started to ship kernels with this patch, as it seems that
some unnamed binary module authors are already abusing this function (as
well as some open source modules, like the openib code.)  I could not
find any valid reason why this symbol should be exported, so here's a
patch against 2.6.7 that removes it.

Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@xxxxxxxxx>

thanks,

greg k-h
