init_idle()? Yep in sched_init. I wondered where that happened
for the initial idle thread. Ugh. That is the first thing that
we fix after we fork init as well. So yes it would be a good
idea to fix that...
I was expecting init_idle() to happen after we forked kthreadd. I almost
wonder if I should move init_idle....
Anyway that is one bug caught.
