Yes I had considered this, but as Aaron mentioned when we were
discussing it this is just moving the bloat/problem elsewhere. It wold
be very nice if we could reuse the service pointer we get when we are
already making a call to syscoca. I imagine there are other use cases
for being able to pass other types of info to a part.
