Mike,
A kernel module is limited to a restricted set of kernel symbols,
those which are "exported". For a list of exported symbols, do
cat /proc/ksyms
If you think you need to export more symbols, see kernel/ksyms.c
for details. However, some of the functions you mention are not
intended to be called by a module, so maybe you reconsider whether
you really need those functions.
