Split each exported function into a separate patches. This too big
chunk of diff to be reviawable, i.e. it is impossible to give 
reviewed-by in this form. I think I've commented this also throughout
the series, and it has not been changed.

There needs to be a patch per each exported API function so that they
can be looked into detail. This patch does not align with submission
guidelines in the form it is either.

I can give only one half review right now, which "yes wee need this"
but cannot give any rational feedback whether it is in the form we
would like it to be.
