There is only one supported way for a loadable module to install a
system call; any other attempt at "hooking" is wrong and should not be
attempted -- it is nearly guaranteed that you will not get the
protocol correct.

(Has anyone actually implemented PAGs for FreeBSD yet?  It's pretty
obvious how they should be implemented -- as a pseudo-MAC policy --
but I haven't followed the development sufficiently closely.  I'm
concerned that some of this "hooking" might be trying to install
old-style getgroups/setgroups wrappers, which is definitely in
Deserves To Lose territory.)
