What do you think of a mechanism ala init/fini where any module, as it's
initializing, can register a finalizer in a global table? The 'exec'
implementation would then need to call a system shutdown function which
invokes each registered finalizer in reverse order of registration.

This would require a unique modification to the 'exec' implementations
and work for future cases similar to the Ethernet shutdown.
