Indeed - that's what I should have written, but I had forgot the exact file name.

They are the same, but they do not identify the files containing the dead var.
It may be worth to just "grep back" in kernel sources for the dead symbol to
readd this feature, but it may be slower that way.

The difference is that since I find symbols together with file name, I cannot
use uniq but I must use that awk script.

Anyway, do we agree that a script for this should be probably
merged in kernel sources?

Thanks for your answer.
