That is what FreeBSD does, and I considered that. However, since
the goal is mainly to provide only the necessary extensions for
Linux emulation (so you can do mount -t procfs -o linux procfs
/emul/linux/proc), there would be a lot of duplicated code.

Hence, I opted for a mount option. There was already some code
in procfs specifically targeted to Linux emulation.

Should the Linux-specific bits grow to a significant size,
splitting it of may make sense, but I don't suspect that'll happen;
it is not the intention to do a full Linux /proc implementation.
