Thanks for the pointer!

I did have a very brief look at this. The conclusion I made is that
this is way over designed to enable support for features like cache
and poweroff notification. However, there may be other use cases that
could benefit from a user space library, along the lines of the SD
Extensions API, but I can't really tell.

Do you have an interest around this that you can share?

Thanks for reviewing!

Kind regards
Uffe
