Thanks for sharing the module source, I can reproduce the issue on my
machine. Putting both the prototype and the EXPORT_SYMBOL in arm64ksyms.c
appears to resolve the issue and is my preference since these functions
shouldn't be called directly anyway. Would you be able to spin a v2 doing
that, please? I can take it as fix.

I've also queued your clang int128 patch.

Cheers,

Will
