Ok, I'm going to put Robert's version of the fix into 2.6.19
and previous -stable branches.

But for 2.6.20 I'd like to do the following, based upon
Christoph's suggestion to convert to kthread.

Can folks please give this a spin?  I've tested that the
module loads and unloads properly, the threads startup
and shutdown, but that's it.

Thanks!

    [PKTGEN]: Convert to kthread API.
    
    Based upon a suggestion from Christoph Hellwig.
    
    This fixes various races in module load/unload handling
    too.
