please don't use kernel_thread for new code, but rather kthread_create/
ktread_run. And check the possible errors it can return :)
Using the kthread infrastructure also means you'll have to redo your
synchronisation scheme as it doesn't work very well with this use
of semaphores. But that's a good thing as these useages are not
easily parseable for most kernel hackers despite beeing tought in
OS101 :)
