So far I'm fine with the patch set, but I hate the non descriptive "__"
prefix of __task_state_to_char(). Can we make this a bit more
descriptive, because every time I see it in other patches, I go back to
this patch to see if we are using the right function.

What about something like:

task_state_to_state_char(unsigned int state);

task_to_state_char(struct task_struct *tsk);

?

This way, the "__" wont keep making me think we used the wrong
function.
