Grr... OK, I've been an overoptimistic idiot and missed that ugliness.

Solutions:
        a) mount it on some real place. And write there to register
entries instead of the bogus /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
        b) add a couple of proc_mkdir() into fs/proc/root.c
That is, add
        proc_mkdir("sys/fs", 0):
        proc_mkdir("sys/fs/binfmt_misc", 0);
after the line that says
        proc_mkdir("sys", 0);

I would strongly recommend (a). In the long run we'll need to go that
way.
