The arch_get_kallsym() function is not used anywhere in the kernel
now, so it should at-least be static or just be removed as there
are no users. Making it static fixes the following sparse warning:
kernel/kallsyms.c:590:12: warning: symbol 'arch_get_kallsym' was not declared. Should it be static?

It fixes the warning, but isn't exactly useful. Please just remove it, get_ksymbol_arch and iter->pos_arch_end entirely instead.

I didn't have time to do any archeaology on it to find out if it has ever been used. -- Ben Dooks, ben@fluff.org, http://www.fluff.org/ben/ Large Hadron Colada: A large Pina Colada that makes the universe disappear.
