Along with snagging the "easy ones" for MP safeness, shouldn't getpid
be MP safe? The struct proc is allocated from the proc_zone, and
afaik zalloc allows for stable storage meaning it's safe to dereference
the ppid pointer once the entire struct proc is populated, which needs
to happen before the process can even call getpid().
phk seems to agree.
