Unknown symbol kill_proc_info in 2.6.10-rc1

After building 2.6.10-rc1, i was unable to load my "lufs" module due to an unknown symbol error (kill_proc_info). When I examined the 2.6.10-rc1 patch, I noticed that "EXPORT_SYMBOL(kill_proc_info);" was removed from signal.c. With the following patch, I was able to resolve my problem, but I am not sure if this is the correct method. Is there a reason why the kill_proc_info symbol is no longer exported?
