The following API's are exported but unused in current code:
net/core/dev_addr_lists.o
__hw_addr_del_multiple
dev_addr_add_multiple
dev_addr_del_multiple
net/core/timestamping.o
skb_clone_tx_timestamp
skb_complete_tx_timestamp
Any plans to use these soon?

Yes, these are brand new functions needed for PTP hardware
timestamping support.
I have a patch series under active review on lkml. It will take time
to settle the issues, but people have clearing indicated wanting to
support PTP hardware clocks.
