BTW, I wonder, if we can represent kernel threads in /proc as "threads" instead of "processes"? Especially on a big machine the number of kernel workers is really high, and even if the machine is completely empty there can be easily a hundred or more "processes" with cryptic names in top/ps output. I assume, that most of the users don't really care about kernel threads, so packing them into single tgid makes sense to me.
