Ok, guys, can you please un-cc me from this endless discussion. Two 
reasons:

 - The name "clone3" sucks. And no, "wait3" and "wait4" are not good 
   reasons to call something "clone3"

but more importantly:

 - I told people _months_ ago that you can't do this with an architecture- 
   neutral wrapper system call and not that fake-portable task_pt_regs() 
   thing that IS NOT APPROPRIATE in this context. People apparently didn't 
   listen. So why continue to cc me on this interminable thread, when it's 
   apparently just a big masturbatory email session about naming?

The patches will not be merged. You don't listen to any technical 
feedback, and instead waste everybodys time with pointless bikeshed 
painting discussions. Please don't cc me any more.
