#1180351 — [PATCH] kthread: export park/unpark facility

	Hi,

	The kthread park/unpark facility is not used in the kernel, so
one would assume that it's made for kernel modules. This patch should
definitely help most modules.
	Patch untested, at your own risks...
	Regards,

	Jean

Certainly not.

And how exactly would this help modules?

Thanks,
