It somewhat reduces the utility of copy_process() [which we primarily introduced to enable wakeup-less SMP bootstrapping], but i cannot see any good solution besides moving copy_thread() out of copy_process(), which is unsafe. (ptrace could potentially access the new task before copy_thread() is done, etc.) So i'd go for the simple solution of CLONE_IDLETASK not doing a wakeup.
