I'd prefer to wait until there was an actual user of this hook before
adding it to the kernel.  Otherwise someone (likely me) will notice this
hook in a few days and go, "hey, no one is using this, let's clean it
up" :)

So, how about we wait until you have a patch that needs this before I
apply it?

thanks,
