I'm trying to get rid of the made up notion of "exporting" things. What
we are doing is to register devices with driver core, and that involves
a representation is sysfs.
Eventually, a gpio chip should always be registered with driver core and
this is not directly related to the (by then hopefully legacy)
sysfs-interface.

This would be a different change, and some of those functions are also
part of the consumer API.
