The idea to separate out this patch from the rest was probably to make
things easier to review.

However, without any callers of this function, I find it pretty hard to
review it.

My recommendation would be to move the addition of all the callers of this
function from 3/4 here (obviously without removing the assignments of the
global variables, that removal should stay with 3/4).

Ciao,
Dscho
