Subject: [RFC] [PATCH] pidspace: is_init()


This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc2
and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().

Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's
other patches for now.

Couple of questions:

	Are there cases where child_reaper is not pid = 1. Should the
	"tsk == child_reaper" check in do_exit() be replaced with is_init() ? 

	Looks like, we would need a similar, is_idle() wrapper for "pid==0"
	checks - although the name is_idle_task() maybe more intuitive. If
	so, should we rename is_init() to is_init_task() ? 


Eric's original description: 

	There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
	because we give it special properties.  Most  significantly init
	must not die.  This results in code all over the kernel test
	->pid == 1.

	Introduce is_init to capture this case.  

	With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
	looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
	process that has pid == 1.
