-What: a.out interpreter support for ELF executables
-When: 2.6.25
-Files: fs/binfmt_elf.c
-Why: Using a.out interpreters for ELF executables was a feature for
- transition from a.out to ELF. But now it is unlikely to be still
- needed anymore and removing it would simplify the hairy ELF
- loader code.
-Who: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

What: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(kernel_thread)
