All threads on linux have pids as well, as the linux thread model is based on processes. BTW, kernel processes in "top" are shown in brackets.
I don't believe normal userland tools can monitor the kernel CPU usage.
Try "htop" (in package of the same name). It allows you to separately toggle display on/off of both user and kernel threads
Press "H" to toggle user threads, and "K" to toggle kernel threads. It runs in a terminal window -- pick one that supports color (do any not, these days?). You can configure it how you like it and save the result (much like 'top'). Htop understand keyboard and mouse input and uses curses to display things. You'll want to stretch the window out horizontally. Also you'll want to make sure your terminal is in Unicode mode (unicode_start) if it isn't already, so the graphics characters in htop display correctly.

Hi Linda and thanks for the suggestion. I tried htop also, and no joy with it either. Though I am not sure what the "H" and "K" keys do when I use them. It appears that what they do is simply force an update, but I don't see any change in the output that differentiates between user and kernel threads.
