Yes. I had actually hoped for more too. I think it might bring
more with -ffunction-sections/--gc-sections, but I haven't tried that.

An alternative might be also to give some more of those explicit Kconfig
symbols -- then kernels with module loading enabled would benefit more
too -- but I haven't investigated how many changes that would need.

But even with that it's a reasonable improvement and putting the exports
separately is not too bad.

Sorry, some day I'll learn how to operate quilt properly.

Updated patch with all files included appended.

Allow linker to eliminate unused functions in lib/*

Right now a lot of code in lib/* is obj-y and always linked
in. The reason is that there is no other way to ensure the EXPORT_SYMBOLs
get included.

This patch moves the EXPORT_SYMBOLs into separate files instead. This
way the files actually implementing the code can be made lib-y again,
and the separate export symbols pull them in for modular kernels.

In some ways that's similar to the old ksyms.c files, but
not as centralized.

For non modular kernels the linker can decide whether to use them
or not.

This shrinks a allnoconfig+CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y+all options disabled
kernel by about 1k on x86. Not much, but also not too shabby.

I didn't do this for the functions in lib/* which already have
Kconfig symbol. Presumably that is usually only set on demand
when they are actually needed (although I'm not sure it's true
for all cases).
