and it is always used along with "tsk != init_task".

But why we exclude swapper/0? Can't we add

        end_of_stack(current) = STACK_END_MAGIC;

somewhere at the start of start_kernel() ?

If not, perhaps this new helper should check "task != &init_task"
itself so that we can simplify its users?
