It was proposed in another thread to "overmount" or "unionize" devfs with an underlying file system, so the underlying file system provides the persistence. I would like this functionality for /proc, so permissions can be altered permanently with just chown and chgrp.
Extra nice would be if the contents of the files in /proc/sys/* was persistent, so I could take echo '0' >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps out of my rc.local. That is probably not practical for files in other parts of the /proc hierachy.
