swapper process

[Jan Engelhardt]

Hello,


when stuffing a minimalistic environment into initrd (bash,libc and ps) into 
an initrd, and I run ps from within, I get "[swapper]" with PID 1 and linuxrc 
as PID 123 (think one up). What's the swapper doing?
As booting with root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc puts linuxrc in pid 1.
