What's the point, exactly?  This linprocfs is kinda lame, in the
traditional sense of the word.  Shouldn't it have the features
which the regular procfs has, too?  Linux procfs doesn't only have
an "exe" file in the pid-directories.  This linprocfs seems to only
have some of the "differences" between the two, and doesn't form the
necessary "full" procfs.  I'm sure some VFS work could be done to
make the pid dirs unions, but why can't the missing functions/files
from the original procfs be duplicated in linprocfs, as a simple
solution?   Right now, I just don't see the good in linprocfs.
