I concur with Eric's assessment. Adding new magic bits to the generic clone path seems like a poor way to cope with kernel threads. I think it's better if kernel thread setup gets less like normal user process setup. I also agree with Eric that PPID of 0 is a very natural way for kernel threads to be displayed. We need to know more about the nature of the compatibility issue in procps to judge whether there is good reason to avoid changing it.
