+Subject: [PATCH] refcount: change EXPORT_SYMBOL markings
+
+Now that kref is using the refcount apis, the _GPL markings are getting
+exported to places that it previously wasn't.  Now kref.h is GPLv2
+licensed, so any non-GPL code using it better be talking to some
+lawyers, but changing api markings isn't considered "nice", so let's fix
+this up.
