How are dynamic library callbacks working under this? We talked about
changing this to report BPatch_object, but you can't really do that
without breaking API and ABI.

Please don't try to balance horribleness -- just don't break at all
without exceptional justification. Looking at the public header
changes, I don't think there's anything here that can't wait until the
next soname. If you're itching badly, bring on 9.1 sooner.
