No. As I said on the description:

I'll be sending out that patch series today (I hope).

I *do* believe it would be useful to add some ida helper routines, since
callers of these routines seem mostly to use a uniform calling sequence.
But even so some of the callers do things differently enough so that I
was not comfortable changing them to use the helper routines.

But the "idr" routines, i.e. the ones that manage both an index *and* a
pointer, which are the ones I'm using in hosts.c, are not called so
uniformly, so helper routines did not seem like a good idea.
