Ah, ok. I thought it needed the Linuxulator.

I see your point. In that case I prefer it if linprocfs is moved from
under the linux subdirectory to a place of it's own. It now has no
business their at all.

Where linprocfs should be moved to is not exactly clear. It started off
in sys/miscfs and moved to sys/i386/linux. Moving it again to, say,
sys/i386 might not make everybody happy.

All this moving gets you thinking that we're simply not doing it
right... I really think we should integrate... I guess we don't get
anywhere this way, so I'll shut up... :-/
