This is still lacking any useful implementation.  It also seems to be
used in patch 3 before it actually is used.

As the functionality seems optional I'd suggest to drop this patch for
now and not call it from patch 3, and do a separate series later that
adds the infrastructure, at leat one useful backend and the caller.
