Subject: Minimum modutils version


Documentation/Changes claims modutils 2.4.2 is still acceptable. However
it seems at least 2.4.10 is needed for EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. What should
Changes be changed to ?

Sounds reasonable.

Keith:
What's your opinion on the following patch for 2.4 (and a similar one for
2.5)?
