Basically, you'll have to provide the patch to include this new hook (I 
cannot say ATM for old and/or new EM as the discussion is ongoing) and 
ideally provide a basic extension using it and showing that it does what 
is expected.

Just keep in mind that in fact hooks are new features and that feature 
freeze is August, 2nd. If not ready, you'll have to wait for the 
kick-off of TYPO3 4.7, beginning of November.

However, you could (maybe) take advantage of existing hook
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['typo3/mod/tools/em/index.php']['checkDBupdates']

Perhaps not exactly the way you wanted it but still, it may work to some 
extend and it's already available since 4.5.

Regards
