gcc-4.2 is a lot more picky about its symbol handling.  EXPORT_SYMBOL no
longer works on symbols that are undefined or defined with static scope.

For example, with CONFIG_PROFILE off, I see:

  kernel/profile.c:206: error: __ksymtab_profile_event_unregister causes a section type conflict
  kernel/profile.c:205: error: __ksymtab_profile_event_register causes a section type conflict

This patch moves the EXPORTs inside the #ifdef CONFIG_PROFILE, so we
only try to export symbols that are defined.

Also, in kernel/kprobes.c there's an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for
jprobes_return, which if CONFIG_JPROBES is undefined is a static
inline and gives the same error.

And in drivers/acpi/resources/rsxface.c, there's an
ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOPL() for a static symbol. If it's static, it's not
accessible from outside the compilation unit, so should bot be exported.

These three changes allow building a zx1_defconfig kernel with gcc 4.2
on IA64.
