Yes, nice. :) I don't see any ordering dependencies here. The only thing
I see is a potential for more "work done by kernel before bailing" in
the sense that the arg copying will be performed before we check the
kernel_read() result. I struggle to see how that might be a problem,
and this get us to fewer exec.c exports. Yay!
