Question regarding kernel_threads

Hi, I'm using kernel threads in my driver & they work fine however I'm getting left with zombie processes when they exit. As I have no parent process calling wait. I've tried attaching making init my parent process this doesn't appear to help. The new daemonize function in 2.3 doesn't fix this
