Hello!
The following patch is making the get_empty_super() function
just local to the place where it's only use is and where it's only
use should be: fs/super.c
The removal of this symbol from ksyms.c should:
1. Help making the module interface cleaner by a tinny margin :-).
2. shouldn't hurt anything sane.
Please apply... line sloops in the patch are due to bla bla, and
don't hurt...
Thank's
