I'll need to finish RTFS there; I have initially misread that patch,
actually - Eric _is_ using that thing both for those directories
and for sysctl inodes. And the prototype for that machinery (the
one he'd pulled from proc_sysctl.c) is playing with pinning superblocks
way too much; for per-pid directories that's not an issue, but
for sysctl table removal you are very likely to hit a bunch of
evictees on the same superblock...
