This fails to compile on ppc, enable_kernel_altivec() is an exported but
undeclared function. cpu_features is also missing.

drivers/md/raid6altivec1.c: In function `raid6_altivec1_gen_syndrome':
drivers/md/raid6altivec1.c:99: warning: implicit declaration of function `enable_kernel_altivec'
drivers/md/raid6altivec1.c: In function `raid6_have_altivec':
drivers/md/raid6altivec1.c:111: error: request for member `cpu_features' in something not a structure or union
drivers/md/raid6altivec2.c: In function `raid6_altivec2_gen_syndrome':
drivers/md/raid6altivec2.c:110: warning: implicit declaration of function `enable_kernel_altivec'

There are a few more exported symbols without declaration:
__ashldi3
__ashrdi3
__lshrdi3
enable_kernel_spe
fec_register_ph
fec_unregister_ph
idma_pci9_read
idma_pci9_read_le
local_irq_disable_end
local_irq_enable_end
local_irq_restore_end
local_save_flags_ptr_end
ocp_bus_type
ppc4xx_set_dma_addr


I'm not sure if the EXPORT_SYMBOL should be dropped for them, they have
no users in the current kernel.
