Subject: [PATCH 01/11] module.h: split out the EXPORT_SYMBOL for faster compiles
A lot of files pull in module.h when all they are really
looking for is the basic EXPORT_SYMBOL functionality. The
recent data from Ingo[1] shows that this is one of several
instances that has a significant impact on compile times,
and it should be targeted for factoring out (as done here).
Note that several commonly used header files in include/*
directly include <linux/module.h> themselves (some 34 of them!)
The most commonly used ones of these will have to be made
independent of module.h before the full benefit of this change
can be realized.
We also transition THIS_MODULE from module.h to export.h,
since there are lots of files with subsystem structs that
in turn will have a struct module *owner and only be doing:
.owner = THIS_MODULE;
and absolutely nothing else modular. So, we also want to have
the THIS_MODULE definition present in the lightweight header.
