commit '[PATCH] kernel/softirq.c: EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL'

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=80d6679a62fe45f440d042099d997a42e4e8c59d

open_softirq just enables a softirq.  The softirq array is statically
allocated so to add a new one you would have to patch the kernel.  So
there's no point to keep this export at all as any user would have to
patch the enum in include/linux/interrupt.h anyway.  Adrian, care to
submit a patch to kill this senseless export entirely?
