It doesn't know or care about the linuxulator. You could mount it as /proc instead of procfs and it wouldn't care (though ps(1) would go bonkers). It doesn't implement the full set of files that Linux procfs does, but that's more out of laziness than any other reason. I'll happily implement any file that somebody tells me is required for a specific application to run. > Regarding miscfs vs fs.. miscfs is a bad name.

May I please exercise my illusionary MAINTAINER powers and ask the repo-meisters to repo-copy it to sys/compat/linprocfs?
