Well we could handle both systems where a global lock type and a per
structure lock id is made available to the underlying callback. Then if
the application wants to do things as now it can just ignore the per
structure parameter and use the type. In either case the structure and
type would be useful as debugging parameters.
We could also extend the callback mechanism so we also have create and
destroy operations. Again if something wishes to keep the current system
it could have these do nothing.
