Summary:                    Function zt_register should get a Linux 2.6 module
and zt_unregister put
Description: 
Function zt_register should get a and function zt_unregister put a Linux
2.6 module. Module zaptel can call functions of registered modules and it
would be cleaner if zaptel itself took care of the modules not unloading
and leaving stale function pointers.

If a module registered with zaptel does not get itself, Asterisk processes
can crash at least in Asterisk 1.2 if the module is removed.

"Golden Rule: If you are calling though a function pointer into a
(different) module, you must hold a reference to that module."
