This confused me at first, because neither function is mentioned in the
patch.

It took me some time to see that you were rejecting the two solutions
you listed in the first paragraph, and are instead using a third (that
you describe in this paragraph).

The code itself looks fine.

In the future, I think that it's better if this type of patch went into
its own patch set - this seems independent of the concerns of this patch
set, so splitting up keeps patch sets small.
