Ok, thanks...

Well, at a minimum we'll have to skip the
verify_namelist() stage, or perhaps call it later,
some time after:

(1) task_init() is complete, and
(2) the required new_utsname fields get filled in from
    following the trail above, perhaps from the first
    idle task?

Unless there's some other way we can access it.

Not a major problem, I wouldn't think...

Thanks,
  Dave
