This commit removes an exported function pair that is currently used by out of tree modules, while the replacement pair (kernel_fpu_begin/end) is EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. So this is making existing functionality GPL only, which will probably be an issue for several out of tree modules that use the fpu. Could kernel_fpu_begin/end be made plain EXPORT_SYMBOL? Marc
