 it seems that emul_find_root() is not excluded yet,
 lkm exec_*_elf.o and exec_pecoff.o still include compat_util.c.
 
 $ nm /usr/lkm/exec_freebsd_elf.o | grep emul_find_root
 000007bc T emul_find_root
 $ nm /usr/lkm/exec_linux_elf.o | grep emul_find_root
 00000388 T emul_find_root
 $ nm /usr/lkm/exec_svr4_elf.o | grep emul_find_root                           
 00000224 T emul_find_root
 $ nm /usr/lkm/exec_pecoff.o | grep emul_find_root                            
 00000b2c T emul_find_root
 
 very truly yours.
