There is no direct successor to this function. It depended on internal
data that are already non-existing in 2.99.x. I'll try to check
those packages on how they use it, to see if there could be some
alternative way to achieve that functionality.

The gnutls pkcs11 API. We have deprecated this API in favor of the
pkcs11 API but this callback will be present even in 3.0.0.

If they use set_lowat() with value of 0 then just removing
the call would do. If other value than zero is being
used then directions in
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?107660
apply.
