It's not possible to statically initialize these lists?  Are you
allocating memory?  If so, how much?

Another case to worry about is modloaded emulations..

BTW, if you want to allow unloading of emulations, we'd need an e_fini.

Note that we already have another mechanism to allow "generic"
subsystems to register constructors at kernel link time: pseudo-device
attach routines.
