	 * test becomes arch-specific,
	 * problems with mandatory module signing,
	 * problems with lockdown mode,
	 * doesn't work with CONFIG_MODULES=n at all,
	 * kthread creation API is formally unstable internal kernel API,
	 * need a mechanism to report test kernel thread's PID back,
	 *
	 * 2) ksoftirqd/0 and kswapd0 look like stable enough kernel threads,
	 * but their PIDs are unstable.
	 *
	 * Check against kthreadd which always seem to exist under pid 2.
