    This question was asked a few times before without satisfactory answer:
    *WHY* this abstraction.
    There is *NO* point. Really.

    (And if the answer is "but we want to play tricks later", just make a
    current->realpid or whatever, but leave current->pid be the virtual pid.
    Your abstraction helps NOTHING there. Zero Nada Noppes).
