Context and double-take:

I will have to add some more Linuxisms to /proc soon, such as /proc/cpuinfo
and /proc/meminfo.  Since procfs is rather low-use compared to other
filesystems, I could rip out the COMPAT_LINUX comparisons, and just check
(via strcmp()) the emulation's e_name to choose the appropriate behavior.  
This would make the procfs LKM happy....
