OpenKETA has its own kthread_create() with a little modification from
kthread_create(), it associates the new thread with curthread not with
the thread0.

See /usr/sys/kern/kern_kthread.c: kthread_create()
	error = fork1(&thread0, RFMEM | RFFDG | RFPROC | RFSTOPPED | flags,
	    pages, &p2);
OpenKETA:kthread_create()
	error = fork1(curthread, RFFDG | RFPROC | RFSTOPPED | flags,
	    pages, &p2);

I'll give it a try and see if it works.
BUT i still can't understand why kern_open() don't work, except in the
original thread.
