I am creating a sysfs entry for the daemon/service to write in it's PID to the sysfs entry, so
as to whenever a new protocol driver - BT/FM or GPS wants to use the N_TI_SHARED ldisc, 
the driver would then send signal to daemon on this PID.

The source for this problem, was that I could not install line discipline from kernel space.
i.e make N_TI_SHARED line discipline the current ldisc from kernel space itself.
