I don't know, but a little digging in the git repository found a little info :
The commit :
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0742fd53a3774781255bd1e471e7aa2e4a82d5f7
Contained this exlanation :
This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- make needlessly global code static
- #if 0 the following unused global function:
- xfrm4_state.c: xfrm4_state_fini
- remove the following unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL's:
- ip_output.c: ip_finish_output
- ip_output.c: sysctl_ip_default_ttl
- fib_frontend.c: ip_dev_find
- inetpeer.c: inet_peer_idlock
- ip_options.c: ip_options_compile
- ip_options.c: ip_options_undo
- net/core/request_sock.c: sysctl_max_syn_backlog
[Adding Adrian Bunk and David Miller to Cc as they both signed off on
the patch, maybe they can explain]
