RE: sock_getsockopt() not exported

The problem is that it might be needed by an 'out of tree' driver.
We already have the function:
We dont care of out of tree drivers.

Thats really simple.

Submit this driver, and add the EXPORT_SYMBOL() you need at that time.
Even if management would release the source, you wouldn't
want 4MB of source for an ss7 protocol stack for a card
that isn't generally available, and that needs another
similar sized driver (and libraries etc) to be useful.

The Linux interface is all done with wrapper functions
that get compiled on the target system so we can ship
a big binary 'blob'.
