This isn't a major point, so let's leave it alone for now.  If it's
necessary, adding it isn't a big deal; however, I think it would
probably be better solved by per-ns procfs.  If walking /proc becomes
a huge overhead, CR wouldn't be the only one suffering and it calls
for a better solution.

Thanks.
