Such symbols are completly irrelevant for normal operation, because
NDISulator crash on amd64 during driver initialization.
I fixed this in my own git repo, but "fpudna in kernel mode" (my
understanding is that it is source of panic when trying to use ndis0
device on amd64), present only on amd64 is still not yet fixed - this
should be addressed with fpu_kern KPI available on CURRENT - not done
yet...
Feel free to send patches.
