There are lots of places that can do with a generic hook
infrastructure.  I posted a proposal about doing one on tech-kern on
the 31st of Jan. this year.  At the time it was suggested that we look
at importing the FreeBSD eventhandler code instead, which with a few
modifications would be able to cover what we have now and provide the
flexibility that Cherry is looking for.

I am coming to a point where I will have some time to look at this but
I am wondering do I wait for gcc4 or not?  The reason being is that if
I do this now I will need to modify the varargs handling from the
FreeBSD code because it uses semantics only supported in gcc3 - the
problem is that this leave the vax architecture out in the cold as
that is still using a gcc2 compiler. Apparently gcc4 will be supported
on the vax.  So, if I wait for the gcc4 import I can get away with
fewer modifications... but it means I wait.
