[PATCH 2.6] Number of proc entries based on NR_CPUS ?

[Martin Hicks]

Here is a patch that makes the number of /proc entries be based on
NR_CPUS instead of just having a fixed number.  I think it is a good
idea now that big Linux machines are starting to appear.

The proper constant and slope of increase are up for argument too.

Patch is against the latest linux-2.5 bk tree.

Opinions?
