This doesn't really provide a picture of what the generic interface
that's being offered is and...

...the diffstat doesn't make it obvious what the external interface is
either.  It would be much easier to review this with a clearer picture
of what it's aiming to implement.

There seems to be some DT stuff going on here, is the interface DT only?
