There's a bug in the x86 code in that it sets the boot CPU to zero. This isn't correct since some subarch's use physically indexed CPUs. However, subarchs have either set the boot cpu before irq_INIT() (or just inherited the default zero from INIT_THREAD_INFO()), so it's safe to believe current_thread_info()->cpu about the boot cpu.

Urban Widmark points out that modprobe calls system() in many configurations, which drops privs since request_module() doesn't set ruid and rguid. This gets rid of exec_usermodehelper and makes everyone use call_usermodehelper, which has a new "wait" flag.

Add a name argument to daemonize() (va_arg) to avoid all the kernel threads having to duplicate the name setting over and over again. Make daemonize() disable all signals by default, and add a "allow_signal()" function to let daemons say they explicitly want to support a signal. Make flush_signal() take the signal lock, so that callers do not need to.
