Exposing this information outside of the MD code base (pmap(9)) breaks encapsulation.

I never intent to "define" or "extend" MI thing.

but adding some generic hook in all the AST code does not look like a good exercise in code encapsulation

Proposed hook point is at exception return path just before return from
exception instruction sequence get executed.  It's coded in assembly.
If specific port wants to do nothing, hook is not necessary.
