You add new parameters to these functions, yet never use them. Sorry, I
need an actual user before I can accept api changes like this.

Same for the other 2 patches in this series, I can't accept api changes
without a real user of them, otherwise I'll just have to rip them out
again to simplify the code.

sorry,
