While it would make some situations more convenient, I've wanted to
avoid exporting a new symbol just for the test. And in most cases it
only makes sense to run the test on a custom debug kernel.

Why do you need this?

Should you really need this, I suggest at least using
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. Should you want it, you can resend this patch
standalone detached from the rest.

Thanks,
