Hi Arnd, 

Thank you for the patch. HYPERVISOR_platform_op() is an inline function,
the underlying function that should be exported is
HYPERVISOR_platform_op_raw. So, instead of removing
HYPERVISOR_platform_op, we should change it to
HYPERVISOR_platform_op_raw.

For convenience, and for testing I cooked up a patch. Arnd, if you are
happy with it (in the sense that it solves your problem) we'll check it
in the xentip tree, unless you would like to get it in your tree?

Cheers,

Stefano

HYPERVISOR_platform_op() is an inline function and should not
be exported. Since commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost: check for
static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions"), this causes a warning:

WARNING: "HYPERVISOR_platform_op" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL

Instead, export the underlying function called by the static inline:
HYPERVISOR_platform_op_raw.

Fixes: 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions")
