For credentials we should really merge the pcred and ucred (as used in kernel)
structures into a single item.  They both have to change for a setuid
binary anyway.
(Note that the pcred is never shared - except possibly by irix).

IMHO we ought to support indefinite sized cr_groups - so a pool doesn't
work.

I still think we should be fixing malloc() to that it is better than
pool_alloc() though...
