what i did is i get the symbol address from the global kernel
symbol table, save the address, overwrite the function with
a new address (aka replace the entry in the system call 
vector), do what i want, load my payload, then overwrite the
function with the original address, and voila, :-)

now, i have to spend some time learning something useful before
i get people throwing stones at me :)
