Christoph - do some basic homework. Also save the "so merge it" crap for someone else before you come up with that comment. Given the choice between a few exports of relevant functionality and merging some of the open source stuff that uses it we are far far better off with the export. Plus Linus has a random personal and unreasonable hatred of debugging tools so they'll never get merged anyway without forking the kernel.
