Same code. Use the generic version. The special Makefile treatment is pointless anyway as init_task.o contains only data which is handled by the linker script. So no point on being treated like head text. Make the linker script align the task on THREAD_SIZE and not on PAGE_SIZE, as PAGE_SIZE might be smaller than THREAD_SIZE.
