From d8313aab080abf7e3e1aed4539ed94be46ae0770 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Michael Paquier <michael@paquier.xyz>
Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2023 15:06:17 +0900
Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] Base facility for injection points

Extension and backend developers can register custom callbacks that
would be run on a user-defined fashion.  This is hidden behind a
./configure and a meson switch, disabled by default.
