IIRC, Alan said it is not suposed to work yet. However, if you're
feeling brave (and have no valuable data), you can try to export these
symbols to make depmod happy. (Please read on)

Alan? It might be prudent to make all IDE CONFIG_XYZ bools for -rc4 so
no one can complain that the released kernel does not compile. Marcelo
could just revert it for 2.4.22-pre then.

This is mainly to keep the complaint level down.
