A couple of things.
1) Allowing the mount should come in the last patch. So we don't have a
bisect hazard.
2) We should document that we still require a mount of proc to match on
atime and readonly mount attributes.
3) If we can find a way to safely not require a previous mount of proc
this will be much more valuable.
