Not impossible, still annoying with more complex scenarios.

The PID checks are specific to the module, and there could be much
more conditions like running only in specific backend types (first
example coming into mind), so I want to avoid that kind of knowledge
in the backend.

That sounds fine to do that at the end..  I'm not sure how large this
chunk area added to each InjectionPointEntry should be, though.  128B
stored in each InjectionPointEntry would be more than enough I guess?
Or more like 1024?  The in-core module does not need much currently,
but larger is likely better for pluggability.
