Use of uninitialized ctrl_hash, should this be host_hash?

This looks like a mistake, it changes the signature of the stub but
there is no change to the actual implemenataion.

This looks like a stub for something that doesn't exist, it's unused code.

This stub function signature does not match the real one.
