Ah, calling it late_register had the dual purpose of avoiding the
'register' keyword. :|

For consistency with resume's naming scheme, it should be register_late.
Maybe register_userspace for greater verbage? Though I like the
shorthand that we have register as meaning expose the internal object to
third parties, including userspace.
