I'll just chime in here, since I've done a lot of work on procfs.c.
This is just FYI.

There are actually two (major) flavors of /proc, and it's been
tricky to keep procfs working smoothly for both of them.  The
old-style procfs uses ioctl calls (solaris 2.5, irix...), and
the newer style uses only read and write (solaris 2.6 and beyond,
Unixware...).  Be sure you test changes on at least one instance
of each.
