So, here's a patch that implements EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE().  It
basically says that some time in the future, this symbol is going to
change and not be allowed to be called from non-GPL licensed kernel
modules.

The wording and intent here are incorrect.

All kernel modules are already *GPL licensed*,
whether the authors think so or not.

So this patch (if it goes through), should be reworded
so as not to muddy those waters (as the above excerpt does).

Cheers
