read
K_GLOBAL_STATIC(Type, name)
as
Type *name = new_on_first_access Type();

where the new_on_first_access means that the Type::Type() ctor is only called 
the first time the code accesses the name pointer. Also you don't have to 
care about destruction (except for what I said in my other mail to this 
thread).
