While "mount -t pid" and "mount -t sysctl" are decades overdue, I don't
think they cover everything.

IIRC some gcc versions read /proc/meminfo on every invocation. Now
imagine such program doesn't have a fallback if /proc/ doesn't exist
(how many thousands such programs are there?) So user is going to ask
for /proc with just /proc/meminfo only. At this point it is back to
nearly full /proc.
