In _this_ patch, it's used by both node devices and snapshots.  Later,
in patch 6/6, I switch snapshots over to using a different callback.
Maybe I should rename this function as part of that later split into two
different callbacks, but for this patch, since it really is used twice,
I think it makes sense as-is.
