- bool "Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols"

- help
- Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For

- some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
- encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
- using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
- this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
