Yes. I already have merging of setup_new_exec and install_exec_creds in
my working tree. I just posted the simplest set of patches to get the
idea across.
We can almost merge those two with flush_old_exec as well except for the
code that sets the personality between flush_old_exec and and
setup_new_exec. I am wondering if maybe setting the personality should
be a callback.
