I agree with Kees, *lsm and slot should be moved to the lsm_info
and a lsm_info * should take their place here. This will help
with slot assignment below. But this can come as a separate
patch later.

This is inconsistent, it sets hooks[i].slot before the first occurrence of a hook
in the above list to LSMBLOB_INVALID and the rest of the hooks[i].slots to the
assigned slot value.

If this should only be assigned to the hooks that use a secid then move the
hooks[i].slot = slot assignment into the if. Otherwise we should make sure all
hooks get assigned the same slot value.
