Both patches are mine.  It required about 10 emails between various
kernel hackers and digging into the more obscure bits of gcc to agree
on a method of exposing calls to exported symbols from __asm__ code.
The change to softirq.h is the correct mechanism, especially as you do
not have to run make mrproper after applying the patch, changing from
EXPORT_SYMBOL() to EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS() requires make mrproper.
