[PATCH] introduce kernel_execve
The use of execve() in the kernel is dubious, since it relies on the
__KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ mechanism that stores the result in a global errno
variable. As a first step of getting rid of this, change all users to a
global kernel_execve function that returns a proper error code.
This function is a terrible hack, and a later patch removes it again after the
kernel syscalls are gone.
