Actually, the more I think about it... is this really appropriate for all
upstream m-i-t users? Especially since it will probably be a never-ending
task of adjusting the symbol list to find the proper modules.
When davej and I talked about it, we decided "probably not". And
maintaining two lists of it is insane, so we decided putting the info in
the kernel package wasn't a bad thing. Especially as that's where
you'll know when you need to change it
