DllMain() seems unused in ntoskrnl.exe

[Francois Gouget]

The DllMain() function in ntoskrnl.exe appears to be unused: making 
it static causes a compiler warning to that effect and removing it 
entirely does not cause a compilation failure. Should it be removed or 
is there a build issue with ntoskrnl.exe?
