Subject: [PATCH] arm ecard: Conver to use the kthread API.

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@...ssion.com> - unquoted

This patch modifies the startup of kecardd to use
kthread_run not a kernel_thread combination of kernel_thread
and daemonize.  Making the code slightly simpler and more
maintainable.
