Many, but not all, kernel processes have a "k" at the start. I seem to
remember that khubd is related to the USB hub driver. The kernel
processes often have very low PIDs because they are started at boot.

If they're kernel processes there won't be any file associated with
them, so it can be difficult. In the case of Linux most of them can
probably be identified with a web search, though.
