Well, I didn't know whether or not any binary modules use that function in the
first place.
It looks like some of them do, so below is a revert of that change (that I'm
going to push for -rc4).
I wonder what module exactly you have in mind, though?

Subject: ACPI: Use EXPORT_SYMBOL() for acpi_bus_get_device()
Commit caf5c03f (ACPI: Move acpi_bus_get_device() from bus.c to
scan.c) caused acpi_bus_get_device() to be exported using
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), but that broke some binary drivers in
existence, so revert that change.
