Please include more details about what this logic is.  In the
entity-manager design, anything that's truly platform specific needs

Entity-manager provides the exposes records on dbus, for which
reactors can pick them up and use them.

I'm not quite following what this has to do with your above, given
that this isn't intended to be platform specific.
