I think this makes sense.  However if we are doing it let's
put the special case code for the init_pid in free_pid and
pass the type to alloc_pid. 

Otherwise all of the extra if look ugly in copy_process.
Putting them in alloc_pid and free_pid doesn't really get rid
of them but at least it keeps them in a very pid context.
