I'd suggest making a simple implementation and putting it in lib/libc/ 
stdlib where the C version of atexit already is. Adding it to the  
objects in libk.a should be sufficient putting it in the kernel when  
global objects are used. Presumably there's a similar way to get it  
available from there to user-space programs, but I'm just staring to  
look at that part of the build system.
