I don't like this way of fixing the issue, because you'll get an 
unbalanced source code: proc_eeh_show() is apparently referenced all the 
time in eeh_init_proc(), but because proc_create_single() is a NULL 
macro when CONFIG_PROC_FS is not selected, you get the 'unused function' 
error.

I think the right fix should be to rewrite proc_create_single() as a 
static inline function that calls proc_create_single_data() when 
CONFIG_PROC_FS is selected and just returns NULL otherwise.
