Ah, yes, sorry I missed that. That's what my coccinelle patch does (for
reasons unknown to me). For some other patches I noticed that, but this
one slipped through.

The better fix is to add the __exit again and I see that's what
Alexandre did in his rtc-next already.

Thanks for cleaning up after me,
