cpu_exit() name is already used :) I'll think of better name
than cpu_wait().

This shouldn't be necessary. uvm_pagealloc_strat()
wakes up pagedaemon on memory shortage (and if it can block), so this
should Just Work as is without additional hooks.

The process teardown time has slightly decreased for forkbench of
the bulk.fefe.de suite.
I need to run something specifically designed for measuring
fork/exit/wait to figure the gain for classic fork->exec->->exit->wait
loop, the teardown time in forkbench is dominated by other factors.

I want to do this, definitely.
