Subject: Adding reboot/exit callouts.. comments please
Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

I want to add the following two callouts to the system:

1/ a callout list for things to do at shutdown
2/ a callout list  of things to do on process exit.

I see these as being useful for several purposes..
1/ third party modules that need to notify hardware of shutdown
2/ LKMs that need to clean up on process exit.

does anyone have work underway in this?
does anyone object?
does anyone have comments?
