This probably should be in the Docs somewhere, or so I would think. I
haven't read all the documentation yet, as I don't use most of the
kernel options (just need something that runs with a minimum of bells),
but it seems there are a lot more configurable options in /proc than
people know about. Would it be a good thing to have these documented
for Linux 2.2.x?

P.S. Yes, I am sort of volunteering to do the job... if it falls in my
lap it is likely to take me a few weeks with a few emails to each
section maintainer to make sure I didn't botch up that sections
documentation.
