    IMHO this would be a Bad Thing! I'm using different system trees
    with chroot (say one complete ELF and one complete a.out system)
    to have different system personalities online at the same time
    and I need procfs in every of these `personality trees'
    (so e.g. /proc for the base system, /aout/proc for a.out personality,
    /sysv/proc for ...)
