yes, of course! it _must_ be used. ;)

this code was a simple stub... I think this method is similar to the 2.4
implementation of the syscalls vector, when you was responsible of
maintaining the syscalls table in a consistent state.
 
precisely.....lkmpg gives more insight on this. Apart from storing the default location of the function is a temp variable one should also take care not to insert two modules doing the above stuff. If at all u do that you must remove them carefully.
