I'm not sure that there's any point in that. Sure, we can slap two
files together; what the hell for? Both are quite large, there's
a (relatively) sane separation of code between them (misc. files
contents in /proc/<pid>/ vs. directory structure and symlinks in
there, more or less) and I don't see any benefit in mashing them
together. Up to Alexey, but IMO that's pointless.

No strong opinions here.

Hi, Al.

Just as what I said in the description of that patch, one only has extern functions that are _only_ used in another as function pointers.

And the size of code can't be a reason why they are seperated, we have
much more source files larger than this one. :)

Thanks.
