Why would you need to hook into the GIC data?

I don't think it is necessary for mainline to work correctly,
and I don't understand what you are trying to achieve with this
"hook module".

If you could explain what you are trying to do and why you are
doing it, maybe we can come up with something. But I don't
think blindly repainting symbol names is a sensible course of
action.

Thanks,
