Good point. I now check for num_pids > 0 and treat num_pids == 0 as
normal clone().

While addressing this I realized I had a lot of arch-independent code
in arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c. I have now moved this common code to
kernel/fork.c. Its non-trivial code move, so need new review/acks from
you and Serge for at least patches 6 and 7.
