FTR the remote* API is supposed to make it easy to drop-in
your own implementation (as in you should be able to copy an extra file
in the right place and use it without patching anything). 
You can probably do some extra binary jugging / probing in your own
class. I was trying to avoid having to carry bespoke handlers directly
in the kernel tree.
