Emm... we have used static_call() in the riscv queued_spin_lock_:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230802164701.192791-20-guoren@kernel.org/
But we met a compile problem:

/home/guoren/source/kernel/linux/scripts/Makefile.modpost:144: recipe

Our solution is:
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__SCK__pv_queued_spin_unlock);
What do you think about it?

I wrote the reason here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230802164701.192791-1-guoren@kernel.org/
The target platform is: https://www.sophon.ai/
The two NUMA nodes platform has come out, so we want to measure the
benefit of CNA qspinlock.
Any feedbacks are welcome :)
