'Thats not a bug - its a feature' <tm>.

Unless of course, people think /proc/mounts should be able to look different
for each process. Personally, I think the current behavior is correct,
notice that the root file system is associated with /dev/root, which again I
think is the rich thing to do, but may not be inline with other peoples
religion.
