I'm not in love with the local flag, and the whole local context in
general, but that's a larger discussion and not something I want to
force on this patchset; we can fix it later.

I think this patch looks fine, but it seems a bit odd standalone; it's
almost always better to include new capabilities/functions in the same
patch as the user.  Since the only user is the networking bits, it
might make more sense to fold this patch into that one.
