I think that under Linux you can only access the functions that are
exported by the module with the macro EXPORT_SYSMBOL and
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

No, I don't think so. From what I could see until now under MiNT you
can't export functions between kernel modules (KM). This is one of the
reasons why I'm asking about using a pseudo-device from kernel space,
to workaround these limitations.
