Counting multiple authenticate factors in pam

Just a crazy idea - what if there was a pam variable like "numfactors" that
modules could increment?  That way pam_google_authenticator could increment it
by one, and pam_sss could increment it by one for password and two for
smartcard+PIN.  Then at the end you could require numfactors to be a certain
number (generally 2).

Too much of an api change?  Any other way to shoehorn this in?
