I really don't see HST's need for start_time_ns in the path selector's
end_io hook as a solid justification for this encapsulation.

Especially in that the parameters needed for ps's start_io and end_io
really aren't symmetric.  Imposing that they are just causes needless
code (an example of that is in patch 2/3).

So please drop this encapsulation.

Thanks,
Mike
