Some of the PKCS#11 interfaces expose functionality we don't actually use, including:

nsIPK11TokenDB:
  listTokens()

nsIPKCS11ModuleDB:
  getInternal()
  getInternalFIPS()
  findSlotByName()

nsIPK11Token:
  minimumPasswordLength
  isHardwareToken()

nsIPK11Token has a few that only SeaMonkey uses:
  getAskPasswordTimes()
  getAskPasswordTimeout()
  setAskPasswordDefaults()

It's not crucial that these all be removed, but it will make some upcoming refactoring easier. I'm going to file a bug that the feature using them be removed from SeaMonkey (or at least reimplemented in SeaMonkey-specific code).

Hmm, DXR suggests not even NSS itself uses this function now, so we should try removing this from nss.symbols as well.
(Ignore if the expectation is SeaMonkey will likely try to move this code over to c-c.)

Similar nss.symbols comment.
