From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Add asm-usable variants of EXPORT_SYMBOL/EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.  This
commit just adds the default implementation; most of the architectures
can simply add export.h to asm/Kbuild and start using <asm/export.h>
from assembler.  The area where the things might diverge from default
is the alignment; normally it's 8 bytes on 64bit targets and 4 on
32bit ones, both for unsigned long and for struct kernel_symbol.

Unfortunately, amd64 and m68k are unusual - m68k aligns to 2 bytes
(for both) and amd64 aligns struct kernel_symbol to 16 bytes.  For
those we'll need to have asm/export.h overriding the constants used
by generic version (KSYM_ALIGN and KCRC_ALIGN for kernel_symbol and
unsigned long resp.) and including asm-generic/export.h.

And no, __alignof__ would not do the trick - on amd64 __alignof__
of struct kernel_symbol is 8, not 16.
