preparation for generic kernel_thread()
Let architectures select GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD and have their copy_thread()
treat NULL regs as "it came from kernel_thread(), sp argument contains
the function new thread will be calling and stack_size - the argument for
that function". Switching the architectures begins shortly...
