Convert all in-kernel users of the deprecated EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS() to EXPORT_SYMBOL(). 2. Now all users of the deprecated EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS are gone, ctags doesn't have to care about it anymore. 3. Remove deprecated EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS() support from UML. 4. Remove deprecated EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS() support completely. The last patch may be delayed until 2.7 because of backwards compatibility reasons for out-of-tree drivers. All patches are untested, but Obviously Correct(TM).
