Hmm doh, sorry about that the 2/2 patch of this series should be passing 0 not 1
since we need to be uninterruptible.  I figured this sort of thing would be used
by fs's/device drivers where TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE is desired.  If that is not
appropriate let me know and I can use TASK_KILLABLE or whatever else the
preference is.  Thanks,

Josef
