Adding the 'hooks.h' header allows for much of code added in the
previous patches to finally compile and there are a number of errors,
too many to include here.  Please fix those and ensure that each
point in the patchset compiles cleanly.

It's up to you, but when you have a fequently used initializer like
this it is often wrapped in a macro:

  #define IPE_EVAL_CTX_INIT ((struct ipe_eval_ctx){ 0 })

... so that you can write the variable decalaration like this:

  struct ipe_eval_ctx ctx = IPE_EVAL_CTX_INIT;

It's not a requirement, it just tends to look a little cleaner and
should you ever need to change the initializer it makes your life
a lot easier.

Since @reqprot is always going to be unused in this function, you
might want to mark it as such to help prevent compiler
warnings/errors, for example:

 unsigned long reqprot __always_unused

See my comment above about @reqprot.
