kernel hooks interface available to non-GPL modules?

I'm not sure this is a great idea. OK, your DECLARE_HOOK macros are _GPL (and why are they _NOVERS_GPL? Surely this is the exact kind of thing you want versioned?), but I wouldn't have to use the DECLARE_HOOK macros, would I?
If you thought the LSM GPL furore was bad, this one would be worse.

I agree and have exported hook interfaces with _GPL in the latest version of the patch. It will be at http://www-124.ibm.com/linux/patches/?patch_id=595.
