Re: kthread_create and rel_mplock

:Threads start with mplock held currently, but if your thread does want
:mplock, it will be wise to hold it explicitly.

    Yah.  For kernel threads you can start a thread without the MP lock
    by creating it with TDF_MPSAFE set in the passed flags.  Otherwise
    the thread will start with the lock.
