You know what's cleaner than that? git revert 27d6ec7ad It has just been merged; until 3.19 it's fair game for removal.
And yes, I should've NAKed the damn thing loud and clear, rather than asking questions back then, getting no answers and letting it slip. Mea culpa.
Back then the procfs-free environments had been pushed as a serious argument in favour of merging the damn thing. Now you guys turn around and say that we not only need procfs mounted, we need a yet-to-be-added kludge in there to cope with the actual intended uses.
