It has recently come to my attention that nvidia is circumventing the protection added in 262e6ae7 ("modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE") by importing exports from their proprietary modules into an allegedly GPL licensed module and then rexporting them. Given that symbol_get was only ever intended for tightly cooperating modules using very internal symbols it is logical to restrict it to being used on EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL and prevent nvidia from costly DMCA Circumvention of Access Controls law suites. All symbols except for four used through symbol_get were already exported as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, and the remaining four ones were switched over in the preparation patches.
