Overall the series made a lot of sense.
On a few points I raised:
 - I still think that exposing the implementation detail of the
   lockfile API that it builds on tempfile API is going backwards.
   I wonder if a few helper functions added to the lockfile
   API to hide it, e.g. instead of letting the caller say
   "lk->tempfile.fd", have them call "lockfile_fd(lk)", would make
   things even more clean.
 - The tempfile API could be built on yet another layer of
   clean_on_exit_file API to unconfuse me on "register_tempfile()",
   but I do not think it is worth it only for two existing callers
   (gc and credential).
Thanks.
