In addition to the macros EXPORT_SYMBOL() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), that allow exporting of kernel symbols to the kernel symbol table, variants of these are available to export symbols into a certain namespace: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and -EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). They take one additional argument: the namespace. -Please note that due to macro expansion that argument needs to be a -preprocessor symbol.
