/*
* This is the mechanism for creating a new kernel thread.
*
* NOTE 1: Only a kernel-only process (ie the swapper or direct
* descendants who haven't done an "execve()") should use this: it
* will work within a system call from a "real" process, but the
* process memory space will not be free'd until both the parent and
* the child have exited.
*
* NOTE 2: This MUST NOT be an inlined function. Otherwise, we get
* into trouble in init/main.c when the child thread returns to
* do_basic_setup() and the timing is such that free_initmem() has
* been called already.
