Hi guys, I know that not all kernel thread users are converted to
start only when needed but the following is little annoying specially
when I'm not even using jfs, xfs and gfs2.

Look at the ps output from a standard distro 2.6.24.5 kernel after a
fresh boot:

Not needed here, because no jfs partition is in use.

What is osm? Can't find anything in kernel config?
