[RFC PATCH] 2.6.22.6 user-mode linux: before abort, we make it sure all children quit

In a stock 2.6.22.6 kernel, poweroff a user mode linux guest
(2.6.22.6 running in skas0 mode) will halt the host linux. I
think the reason is the kernel thread abort because of a bug.
Then the sys_reboot in process of user mode linux guest is
not trapped by the user mode linux kernel and is executed by host.
I think it is better to make sure all of our children process
to quit when user mode linux kernel abort.
