I haven't checked the related kernel source files, but I think there are 
two possibilities that cause the symbol from the module shows in 
/proc/ksyms:
1. Doesn't matter it's exported or not, symbols from modules are still 
seen in /proc/ksyms
OR
2. Modules are unstripped by default, thus symbol table is still inside 
the object file

maybe others have better ideas here...
