Since this cute comment disappears in either 2/2 approach, I would
probably rather see this "series" squashed into a single commit when
finally going upstream.  That would also mean deleting the second
paragraph of the commit message.

This relies on the caller to pre-initialize *enabled and *present to
false; it might be better to explicitly repeat that setting here so that
this function guarantees that the values are always correct on
successful return even if the caller forgot to initialize.  But right
now, the only caller happens to pre-initialize, so it's not a show-stopper.

ACK, once I pick which of the 2/2 variants I like best :)
