No it doesn't. It makes some functions static (which is fine) and adds
some nasty messy pointless #ifdefs. It touches no variable at all.

Please check your description texts and also don't fill the kernel with
ifdef crap. Probably the __setup stuff should be a module param new
style too.

Yes, the description text could have been better.

The "ifdef crap" comes from the fact, that after making the functions 
static, gcc warns if they are unused.

__attribute__ is your friend in that situation.
