Then we export that function. This is all open source, we can actually
fix things up, there should _never_ be a need to hack around things
like this.

And yes I'm keenly aware that there's a pile of i915-gem code which
outright flaunts this principle, but that doesn't mean we should
continue with that. scripts/get_maintainers.pl can help with finding
all the people you need to cc on that export patch.
