I don't know, sorry.  It was just my best guess from what I could see
had changed.

I wonder if it makes a difference that I am doing my "make
allmodconfig" on top of a previous "make allmodconfig" and some symbols
are marked as "NEW" (though they are not symbols related to the changes
that happened during the net-next tree merge)?
