The problem with your example, as I see it, is that having enough exposure to the kernel source to create the exports strongly suggests that the binary module would be a derived work. To understand which new exports would be needed, the person creating them would need to be intimately familiar with GPL'd code and would be working from that knowledge when creating the hypothetical binary module.
