Re: [PATCH] dma-buf: Use EXPORT_SYMBOL

EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL is intended to be used for "an internal implementation issue, and not really an interface".  The dma-buf infrastructure is explicitly intended as an interface between modules/drivers, so it should use EXPORT_SYMBOL instead.

+ Konrad, Arnd, Mauro: there were strong objections on using EXPORT_SYMBOL in place of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL by all 3 of them; I suggest we first arrive at a consensus before merging this patch.
