  MPF exits are in common storage.  Exits which are in the LNKLST
get loaded into CSA.

  Unfortunately, I don't see any way to get D MPF to display
addresses of exits.  The addresses can be found in the MPF Table,
mapped by SYS1.MODGEN(IEEZB809).  The MPF table can be located
via a pointer in SYS1.MODGEN(IEECUCM), which can be located via
a pointer in the CVT.  All of these things are in common storage
and I think are not fetch protected, so it should be a SMOP to 
write a program or REXX exec to look up an exit by name and display
its entry point address (of course, with the caveat that IEEZB908
and IEECUCM are classified as NOTPI).

 Alternately, you could use 
SETPROG EXIT,ADD,DSN=xxxxxxxxxx,MOD=xxxxxxxx
to add your exit to Dynamic LPA before doing the SET MPF=xx  to 
activate it, and then things which use system services to 
find LPA modules by name (like SLIP with LPAMOD) will be able
to locate your exit.
