... which looks the same as Arnd's patch with the following changes:

- no asm-prototypes.h
- adding asm/export.h to each file using EXPORT_SYMBOL() instead of
   bitops.h
- not touching:
	arch/arm/lib/csumpartialcopy.S
	arch/arm/lib/csumpartialcopygeneric.S
	arch/arm/lib/csumpartialcopyuser.S

other than that, it's doing the same thing.

I think Arnd's changes to the csumpartial code are unnecessary, and
yours is, although larger, puts the asm/export.h include in the right
place.  So please drop yours into the patch system so we can move
forward fixing some of the problems created during the last merge
window.
