VGA arbiter: removing RAC

Currently the arbiter itself is a module and I'm building it using Linux 
2.6.22.7. As I said in other email, the idea now is to see how DRI will 
fit when the arbiter is active. Probably some hang ups will occur due 
interruption things. After this, we'll post into lkml for a review of 
the people there. For now you can see the code here:

     git-clone http://www.inf.ufpr.br/ribas/repos/vga-module.git

I can't imagine in the top of my head how we can set a hook telling the 
server that we want this or that function when the server is running. 
Any hints here?
