Amazingly enough, it seems that Linux doesn't actually have /proc/curproc,
which would have made this a lot simpler.

The real issue is that the Linux and FreeBSD procfs' have different 
semantics.

We need a separate linux-procfs as part of the linux emulator; it 
should mount itself on /compat/linux/procfs.  If you're interested in 
taking this on (please!), I'm sure we can arrange any support that you 
might need.
