how to implement Thread Local Storage (TLS) in kernel

I need to implement a Thread Local Storage (TLS) scheme in Windows
kernel
(XP SP2). I plan to create a global hash table and use
PsGetCurrentThreadId() as the index.

My question is how can I trap the thread exit event inside kernel so
that I can "de-register" the TLS entry when a thread exits.

Thanks in advance,


Ben
