So I freaked out temporarily about your usage of notifiers here. But I
think this one of the few cases where using notifiers is actually
perfectly fine. Still not sure we really want that, instead of just
hard-coding calls to the various register functions directly (and using a
dummy no-op replacement if that part isn't enabled in Kconfig).
