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.
