1931dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
1932dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
1933dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
1934dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  many of those exported symbols might never be used.
1935dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre
1936dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
1937dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
1938dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
