As Al said it, it's probably not the direction to follow to extend the 
clone flags :) But the problem being real, I think we need to insist. 

First, we could simplify the API by using child_tidptr to pass a 64bits 
array of flags. This would still be a brutal syscall argument hijack but 
we can't do better without a new syscall.

Next, we could send the same code using a new syscall.

I have time to work on that.
