The architectures ia64 and parisc have special handling for the idle thread in copy_process. Add a flag named idle to kernel_clone_args and use it to explicity test if an idle process is being created. Fullfill the expectations of the rest of the copy_thread implemetations and pass a function pointer in .stack from fork_idle(). This makes what is happening in copy_thread better defined, and is useful to make idle threads less special.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
