Re: [PATCH 2.5.5] do export vmalloc_to_page to modules...

Well, you're all wrong, bthththt...

Removing the .._GPL() is in this case correct, but not for any of the
reasons mentioned, but simply because even Ingo agreed that it shouldn't
be _GPL since it's explicitly meant for drivers that shouldn't have any
knowledge whatsoever about the VM internals. GPL or not.

The fact that the code was back-ported from 2.5.x and that the _GPL still
is there too is just a mistake, partly because I've not gotten any updates
from Ingo..
