I don't think that's a good approach.  It breaks the symmetry when
calling different callbacks.  What if ->can_attach() allocates
per-task resources and the task exits in the middle?  I think we
better lock down fork/exit/exec.  I'll send patches but I'm currently
moving / traveling w/ limited access to my toys so it might take some
time.

Thanks.
