i dont think there is a kernel process as such, user processes "trap" ( if 
thats the right word ) and execute kernel code.

i dont think what you have written here is right, swapper is not the process 
0 ( i dont think there is a process zero ), although its one of the first 
processes to be created and by the above logic the kswapd is the user process 
which makes sure there is enough free physical memory. 

this information might not be completly true, you should read "the Linux 
Kernel" or "Understanding the Linux Kernel". the first book can be fond 
online.
