So I have just looked again and I don't see anything. There are a
couple of subtle issues on x86. Especially with saving floating
point but as I read the code copy_thread initializes things
properly so that code that doesn't touch floating point registers
doesn't need to do anything.

The important thing for lurking issues is that even if I missed
something practically all of the uses of PF_KTHREAD are on x86
or generic code so they should be flushed out quickly.
