Gotcha. Please convert into a comment for the next revision. :)

I'm not sure which would be more sane: a single table (constructed
from header-defined function declarations), or changes to this core
area.

Ah right, yes. I thought some of that was already going to be handled
by getting handles to things, but yeah, best to run last. (If you can
expand the comment above the call to landlock_add_hooks() that would
be great.)
