I posted a v3, where I *tried* to bisect the commits that actually broke
the procfs interface and I added a commit log to explain why, it is very
hard to bisect a specific commit (given the dependency on the arch code)
and I do not have HW to test the fix on apart from ARM machines so there
is not much I can do on that side.

Please let me know what you think, thanks for having a look.
