One minor glitch is that there is an ad-hoc vadvise() call in advise() that is not tied to any particular entry in the advise_setting[] table. I think we'd need to give a name to the advice_setting struct type, instanciate an ad-hoc instance on stack, and pass it down the callchain, perhaps like so:

	void advise(const char *advice, ...)
	{
		struct advice_setting ad_hoc = {
			.key = "",
			.scope = CONFIG_SCOPE_UNKNOWN,
			.level = 0,
		};
		va_list params;

		va_start(params, advise);
		vadvise(advise, &ad_hoc, params);
		va_end(params);
	}
