That's exactly the thing... Things *can't* be in multiple states,
unless something changes in the future (probably involving swapping).
Currently, everything else in the kernel assumes only one bit is set,
so I don't see a problem with proc doing the same.
In addition, any changes to make the state field in /proc/PID/stat
more than one character will require patches to procps.
