    I think it almost has to be task state, since we very much want to
    make sure it's trivial to see that nothing ever clears that bit, and
    that it always gets copied right over a fork/exec/whatever.

    Putting it in some cred or capability bit or somethin would make that
    kind of transparency pretty much totally impossible.
