Most of it is my fault from being too careless, but the general notion
is that all of these

$ grep EXPORT_SYMBOL uverbs_main.c uverbs_cmd.c  uverbs_marshall.c  rdma_core.c uverbs_std_types*.c uverbs_uapi.c 
uverbs_main.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(ib_uverbs_get_ucontext_file);
uverbs_main.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(rdma_user_mmap_io);
uverbs_cmd.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(flow_resources_alloc);
uverbs_cmd.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(ib_uverbs_flow_resources_free);
uverbs_cmd.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(flow_resources_add);
uverbs_marshall.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(ib_copy_ah_attr_to_user);
uverbs_marshall.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(ib_copy_qp_attr_to_user);
uverbs_marshall.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(ib_copy_path_rec_to_user);
uverbs_marshall.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(ib_copy_path_rec_from_user);
rdma_core.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(uverbs_idr_class);
rdma_core.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(uverbs_close_fd);
rdma_core.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(uverbs_fd_class);
uverbs_std_types.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(uverbs_destroy_def_handler);

Need to go into some 'ib_core uverbs support' .c file in the ib_core,
be moved to a header inline, or moved otherwise

Maybe it is now unrealistic that the uapi is so complicated, ie
uverbs_close_fd is just not easy to fixup..

Maybe the only ones that need fixing are ib_uverbs_get_ucontext_file
rdma_user_mmap_io as alot of drivers are entangled on those now.

The other stuff is much harder..
