I'm not sure if I understand this right ... But I thought they are completely different things (rather than two comparable items). kthread_create() is to create a kernel thread (A thread that'll always execute in kernel mode and will have no user context). Where as tasklet is a mechanism to implement bottom halves - hence they are generally "scheduled" to be executed in ISRs. They are run upon return from IRQ or by ksoftirq. Did I understand the question right?
