I haven't checked, but does this series now include a user for
this struct outside of config.c? If not, then I think it would
be better to leave the declaration in config.c until it is needed.
(To make it easier to see if it is necessary in the context of the
patch which will make use of it).

I disagree: this patch series is essentially about introducing a new
API, and this struct declaration is part of the API.

It seemed strange to me to see the code movement in the patch from two
versions of the series, but the patch itself does not move the code, it
just adds new code directly where it belongs.
