Basically there are a lot of places where the information about kernel 
threads is now hidden when before it wss in plain sight.  I don't think 
this serves any purpose; you might argue it is "tidier" to collapse 
large numbers of kernel threads into generic containers with obscure 
names like "intr" [*], but this is at the expense of conveying up front 
the useful information from the individual threads.

I'm basically requesting that the places that display kproc names be 
converted to instead default to displaying kthreads, without having to 
remember to add weird new command options (i.e. invocation of POLA).
