To be more precise, it should be more like a rfork() like thing
that doesn't change any resources except the stack, a process structure
and processor context. Specifically, processor VMspace is basically left
at whatever it is already at, and there is no 'signal' stuff or file
descriptor table munging. We might even allow the MMU to be left unchanged
too.
