We'd prefer to leave them as vanilla exports. While we're committed
to open-sourcing everything, including our non-upstreamed drivers,
we don't really have a strong opinion regarding consuming our exports
in closed-source (general GPL issues aside).

Will do.

Also, regarding that particular public function, it seems to have slipped
through the cracks. It's an artifact of the API being cross-platform
prior to upstreaming. On Linux, it makes no sense whatsoever, so we'll
just yank it completely.

Thanks!
