Having kernel threads which are children of user process is plain
scary considering the many things parent/children relationship implies
and various bugs and security vulnerabilities in the area. I can't
pinpoint any problem but I think we really shouldn't be adding
something like this for this specific use case. If we can get away
with exporting a few symbols, let's go that way.
Thanks.
