You're sure these functions don't need EXPORT_SYMBOL()?  Maybe the
design is that only DMA core calls into here (if so, that's good).

Drivers should not call it, it is intended to be used by low-level DMA
code.

OK, thanks for checking.

Do you think that a comment about missing EXPORT_SYMBOL is 
required?

No.  If someone later wants to use these from a module then we can look
at their reasons and make a decision at that time.
