That sounds like a good idea.
The background is as follows: Aaron wants to be able to intersperse their own /init
program, which then calls kinit (the shipped-with-the-kernel standard klibc component).
This is a good thing; this kind of modularity is one of several serious reasons for klibc.
At issue is what heuristic to apply to make sure we don't step on what the interspersed
/init did.
