Anyway, re-parenting to swapper breaks pstree, it doesn't
show kernel threads. And if ->parent == /sbin/init, we can't
remove us from ->children (unless we forbid sub-thread-of-init

Then we have to fix pstree and all that. (In fact, I'm
trying to patch `ps f` to DTRT ;p)
Done that and the result is that `ps afwx` now looks like:

+ if(ADOPTED(processes[i]) && forest_type!='u')
That's not compatible because init's children are now in the
logical place. Since the days of procps-1.x.x or earlier,
such processes have been listed at top level.
BTW, what does "ps -ejH" do for you, with and without the patch?
I'd be a lot happier about breaking compatibility in this area
if I could get a functional adoption flag. That is, I really
would like to show a process as child of init if it naturally
was created as a child of init. It's less informative to have
fake children showing up the same as real ones. The original
parent PID would do. (BTW, the original parent name and/or
grandparent PID would be great to have) As a bonus, the kernel
could reap these processes more quickly than init can... and
then maybe we can stop caring if init is alive.
