    Most distributions turn on process accounting - but even the common
    'accounting is off' case is horrible SMP-scalability-wise: it accesses a
    global spinlock during every sys_exit() call, which bounces like mad on SMP
    (and NUMA) systems.
    
    (i also got rid of the unused return code.)
