Just remember: /proc is part of the user API.  It contains system calls that
are implemented with open/read/write/close rather than syscall directly.  As
such, you may not alter functionality that will break userspace[*].

[*] OTOH restricting stuff for security purposes does have merit, so I'm not
    totally against the idea.
