FYI, the recent (relatively recent) CPU hotplug conversion from
notifiers to a state machine has a similar pattern whereby pieces of
code needing to hook into the CPU hotplug state machine add their own
enum values as they need. So far it's been working for them, and there
were tons of CPU hotplug notifiers in the kernel.

Anyhow, let me implement Rafael's suggestions and we can see how we move
from there.
