Note I have re-added EXPORT_SYMBOL here, since on further inspection it looks like we need to export the symbol after all. The problem is that some hotplug drivers (pnv-php in particular) both a.) need this functionality and b.) may be built as a module. I think we should still keep the definition in the PCI include directory, but the symbol itself needs to be exported.
