It doesn't seem useful to have the init_task in a header file rather than
in a normal source file. We could consolidate init_task handling instead and
expand out various macros.

that it's also something that should cook in linux-next for a while
just to make sure t

Hi Ingo,
Is this something that could be taken into the tip tree? It's a series of

and init_stack rather than defining these in C.
Insert init_task and init_thread_

Insert init_task and init_thread_into into the init_stack area in the
linker script as appropriate
