exporting a symbol declared as __init is bogus. additonally, suni
doesnt need to modify its ref counts, to quote:
Q: My code use "MOD_INC_USE_COUNT". Do I still need to adjust my
module count when someone calls one of my functions?
A: No ...
... It could be another module using one of your
EXPORT_SYMBOL'ed functions, in which case you cannot be removed
since they would have to be removed first. ...
this is certainly the case for suni which is used by the various
atm drivers.
