In my case I have "resctrl" (which is built-in, and likely to stay that way) that
needs functions from the "pmt_discovery" module to enumerate which
event counters are present.

Should I add  EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(some registration function) to resctrl

and have the pmt_discovery code call that to provide pointers to resctrl?

Thanks

P.S.

When killing of some function, it would be nice if you added it to:

    Documentation/process/deprecated.rst

to make this obvious to unwary developers.
