No, that doesn't matter at all.  Whether a symbol is exported or not just has to
do with how the code is divided into modules.  It doesn't have anything to do
with indirect calls.

No, the above functions are only called directly.

I did do another search and found that some of the sm4 functions are called
indirectly, though, so I'll send out an updated patchset that fixes those too.
