I have no objections to export bits of fsnotify to modules. After all kernel/audit_tree.c is another external user of the fsnotify bits, just it happens not to be modularized so there was never need for exports. Once NFS guys (or someone else) have something that is close to inclusion, I can push the export patch to my tree (just CC me, Amir, and fsdevel on the series). I prefer not to export symbols for something that is out of tree and will not be getting upstream in a near future. After all the export patch is easy to carry in your tree if you need it.
