You are spot on. It needs to go in patch 15 where it is first used.

I did some internet searching to find out why the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL 
macro is used
rather than EXPORT_SYMBOL. I found the link below which explains why. 
According to
that article, if the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL macro is used, modules that do 
not carry a
GPL-compatible license can not use the function. Apparently Linus 
Trovalds and the
lawyers he consulted believe it codifies the intention in code itself 
makes the code
more flexible and a lot less likely to be misunderstood. It is further 
pointed out
that "circumventing the GPL-only export requires an explicit action, 
making it clear
that the copyright infringement was a  deliberate act.

Since our modules are GPL-licensed, it would probably behoove us to use the
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL macro to export this function.
