: You can find the Makefile for the mem module in src/sys/modules/mem.  You
: might want to look at some of the other module Makefiles in related
: directories for examples of EXPORT_SYMBOLS use.

Alternatively, you could just depend on the mem module and not worry
about EXPORT_SYMBOLS (which is supposed to be more the exception case
than the standard SOP).  Most of the other inter module dependencies
are done this way, and this allows one to have weak versioning to
boot.
