I don't think we want to have 'magic' registry entries that are
computed dynamically, at least not inside the normal branches. There
are dynamic branches like HKEY_DYN_DATA where we will need that, but I
think the rest should use the normal update mechanisms. For things
like plugging in a new interface, there should already be callback
scripts in Linux that you can hook into to set the corresponding
registry key.
