I am suggesting that a new piece of generic infrastructure might
be needed, but it would need to be carefully designed.

The task_struct would get a piece of state, and at exit() time
the kernel would check that state and use it to invoke exit()
time cleanups for UMH type processes.

Is the idea clearer now?
