The value returned is the current max number of tasks, let say,
NR_TASKS (or DEFAULT_MAX_THREADS in his patch).
I think it is a good idea and could be generalized to standard
kernel.
So procps utilities could open this "file" to read the current
NR_TASK and malloc the internal table with to the right size.
This will improve procps tools and make them really "exportable".
Agree?
