since this is new and very much linux specific code, shouldn't these be
_GPL exports?

Actually, try this commit:

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi-misc-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e855d0f4b3d4c421d4de5f30582e3aa579184adb

It's been there since I put the patch in ... otherwise none of my
modules would build ...

How  strange; when I looked  on  gitweb an hour  ago,  it  wasn't
there,  yet  now it  is.

how is it very much linux specific?  these  functions take a char
pointer and fill in that buffer with the messages defined in the scsi
specs.  there's no linux data structures used.
