True - those functions are supposed only consumed by kmfcfg by design.

Jan - do you think we *need* to expose and document all of the policy 
functions?
My guess is no, although kmf_get_policy and kmf_set_policy are useful 
and should
be documented if they are not already.  The rest can probably remain 
private.
