The following patch provides the ability to generate a report of
(1) All the exported symbols and their in-kernel-module usage count
(2) For each module, lists the modules and their exported symbols, on
which it depends.
The report generation is integrated in the build process.
'make export_report' prints out the report.
'make export_report EXPORT_REPORT=Documentation/export_report.txt'
generates the report in the file Documentation/export_report.txt
