Mounting /proc w/ kernel 3.4.0 - "uid" parameter no longer valid?

proc: unrecognized mount option "uid=1" or missing value

This works under 3.3.6 and earlier (I never tried 3.3.7). It appears that the "uid" mount option was removed. WHY? More importantly, where is this change listed? I didn't see it in the git log.

This is really bad as I rebooted a remotely colocated server and since the procfs is not mounted, I cannot log in via SSH to correct the problem.

OK, so there's not that much point in changing the UID of the procfs files, but I preferred to set their default ownership to a non-privileged user.
