Re: [PATCH 1/3] arch: Export machine_restart() instances so they can be called from modules

A recent attempt to convert the Power Reset Restart driver to tristate

  ERROR: "machine_restart" [drivers/power/reset/restart-poweroff.ko] undefined!

This error occurs since some of the machine_restart() instances are
not currently exported for use in modules.  This patch aims to rectify
that.

NB: If it's safe to omit some of these, let me know and I'll revise the patch.

How do you plan to handle that? Isn't this an all-or-nothing export?

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
