This series of patches includes one patch which renames the arg for 
do_fork(), and others which rename the same arg for each arch-specific 
implementation of copy_thread(). So if all of them are accepted and 
merged, then all will be consistent. If only some of the patches are 
accepted, I will rewrite the commit message so it doesn't mention 
"consistency".
