One of Russells complaints was the phylink has too many bits of code
for ideas which did not work out and were replaced by new ways of
doing things.

We want .mac_select_pcs to go away, this framework should replace it.
Please could you convert one of the exist users of .mac_select_pcs, so
we get an idea of what that involved. If that conversion is pretty
mechanical, i think we should have a second patchset which converts
all the current users, and then remove support for .mac_select_pcs.

Overall i think the direction of this patchset is good.
