[Devel] [PATCH] powerpc pseries rtasd: Convert to kthread API.

[Eric W. Biederman]

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm at xmission.com>

This patch modifies the startup of rtasd to use kthread_run instaed of
a combination of kernel_thread and daemonize.  Making the code a little
simpler and more maintainble.
