That module uses "kernel_thread", which was deprecated and marked for
removal around 2.6.23/2.6.24.  It was finally pulled in 2.6.27.  (Check
<kernel source>/Documentation/feature-removal-schedule)

The challenge is that kthread uses task handles and kernel_thread uses
process id's.  It looks like PIDs may not be guaranteed to be globally
unique with namespaces(?).

PID's seem to be used as a return values within the module, so that
would need to be changed.
