Hi,

please consider adding an option to killall5 that allows certain
processes to survive a killall5 invocation.

My usecase is a diskless client with the root filesystem on a network
block device (NBD). A userland process (nbd-client) is required for the
device to work; this process needs to stay around until just before
shutdown.

The same would apply to filesystems mounted via eNBD (enhanced NBD),
iSCSI and probably other methods.

I have a possible solution attached; please let me know what you think
of that approach or if you would know of a better method.

Cheers, Til
