My understanding is that a patch has neither been developed nor a pull=20
request submitted.  Assuming the original author is amenable to changing =

the export of "shared_processor" from EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to=20
EXPORT_SYMBOL, it will be up to Linus and the broader community to=20
decide if the patch will be accepted.   The change was merged on 13 Dec=20
2019 so its been in the tree for a long time.  It is possible that there =

will be objections to the change.
