I just looked at the patch and it seems to do the right thing. I can't
seem to find any places in the kernel where it makes sense to let
init(8) use P_SYSTEM (except kern_sig.c ofcourse). I like the cleanups
you made, especially the comparisons with initproc instead of using the
pid.

Would you mind if I commit your patch to SVN?
