Uhh, this patch doesn't introduce any kind of virtualization yet.    
When that happens, _this_ code will remain the same (it wants the  
real pid), but *other* code will switch to use task_vpid(current)  
instead.  This is an extremely literal translation of current->pid to  
task_pid(current), both of which do exactly the same thing.

robust with an unreliable O2 supply. Memory just has to work.
