I would move this array (or a macro that define it), near the transport
defined in util.h, so they are near and we can easily update/review
changes.

BTW what about adding static asserts to check we are aligned?
Something like

#define KNOWN_TRANSPORTS	\
What about KNOWN_TRANSPORTS(_) ?
Ah, yeah.

enum transport {

	#define _(name, symbol)	\
		TRANSPORT_##name = _BITUL(__COUNTER__ - TRANSPORT_COUNTER_BASE),
	KNOWN_TRANSPORTS

static char * const transport_ksyms[] = {
	#define _(name, symbol) "d " symbol "_transport",
	KNOWN_TRANSPORTS
	#undef _

static_assert(ARRAY_SIZE(transport_ksyms) == TRANSPORT_NUM);

?
Yep, this is even better, thanks :-)
Although checkpatch complains:

ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses

BUT SEE:

   do {} while (0) advice is over-stated in a few situations:

   The more obvious case is macros, like MODULE_PARM_DESC, invoked at
   file-scope, where C disallows code (it must be in functions).  See
   $exceptions if you have one to add by name.

   More troublesome is declarative macros used at top of new scope,
   like DECLARE_PER_CPU.  These might just compile with a do-while-0
   wrapper, but would be incorrect.  Most of these are handled by
   detecting struct,union,etc declaration primitives in $exceptions.

   Theres also macros called inside an if (block), which "return" an
   expression.  These cannot do-while, and need a ({}) wrapper.

   Enjoy this qualification while we work to improve our heuristics.

Is it ok to ignore this? FWIW, I see the same ERRORs due to similarly used
preprocessor directives in fs/bcachefs/alloc_background_format.h, and the
same WARNINGs about unused macro arguments in arch/x86/include/asm/asm.h
(e.g. __ASM_SEL).
