Well...

$ grep EXPORT_SYMBOL drivers/vfio/mdev/*
drivers/vfio/mdev/mdev_core.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(mdev_parent_dev);
drivers/vfio/mdev/mdev_core.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(mdev_get_drvdata);
drivers/vfio/mdev/mdev_core.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(mdev_set_drvdata);
drivers/vfio/mdev/mdev_core.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(mdev_dev);
drivers/vfio/mdev/mdev_core.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(mdev_from_dev);
drivers/vfio/mdev/mdev_core.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(mdev_uuid);
drivers/vfio/mdev/mdev_core.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(mdev_register_device);
drivers/vfio/mdev/mdev_core.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(mdev_unregister_device);
drivers/vfio/mdev/mdev_driver.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(mdev_bus_type);
drivers/vfio/mdev/mdev_driver.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(mdev_register_driver);
drivers/vfio/mdev/mdev_driver.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(mdev_unregister_driver);

For better or worse, the mdev interface does allow non-GPL vendor
drivers. This export seems consistent with that, it's a simple
association allowing the vendor driver to define an IOMMU API backing
device for an mdev device. I don't think this association implies
sufficient operational knowledge to require a GPL symbol and it's been
requested for use by one of those non-GPL mdev vendor drivers,
therefore I support this definition. Thanks,

Alex
