I'm not sure I understand this:

add_disk_randomness() has been unexported as there are no more in-tree users.
If it is not exported and there are no in-tree users why is it still there? Shouldn't it just be removed?

add_disk_randomness() is used by in-tree users, but the export isn't. So all users are in the
same file or module as the function.
