5.10.2 Kernel Daemon
The Kernel Daemon (sc_kerneld) is creating and killing modules and processes. Some time consuming system
work of the kernel (such as module and process killing) returns to the caller without having finished all related
work. The Kernel Daemon is doing such work at appropriate level.
Whenever you are using process or module
create or kill system calls you need to start the kernel daemon.

Kernel Daemon
The kernel daemon is part of the kernel. But to use it you need to define and declare it in the SCONF configuration
utility.
The kernel daemon can only be created and placed
in the system module.
