Does CLONE_SIGHAND without CLONE_VM ever
make sense?

Note that the arch-specific kernel_thread()
implementations add CLONE_VM, so kernel_thread()
usage doesn't count unless you can point to an
arch that doesn't add the CLONE_VM flag. (BTW, the
user-mode port is missing CLONE_UNTRACED. Bug?)

Minor bug, but yes, it's a bug.  kernel threads should always be
CLONE_UNTRACED; UML wasn't in the tree when I added it.
