--- Comment #9 from Michael Ellerman (michael at ellerman.id.au) ---
I assume it's an io_uring IO worker.

They're created via create_io_worker() -> create_io_thread().

They pass a non-NULL `args->fn` to copy_process() -> copy_thread(), so we end
up in the "kernel thread" branch of the if, which sets p->thread.regs = NULL.
