I have no objections to this, but doesn't it defeat the whole

When (if?) applications start to use posix_spawn() we may decide to move
it into the kernel at any time. It should be okay for now.
Are there any benefits of doing it in the kernel vs. doing it via fork+exec?
Speed. You don't have to go mark all your pages as COW or some such only to
turn around and throw the new mappings away and undo that.
Don't we have vfork() for that?
