Hello Linus,
Below is patch (for 2.4.6, 2.4.5)
to add support /proc/null - a counter for /dev/null's write traffic
Why not ? Some time it shows very ineteresting things.
For example - Mozilla write 22Mb to /dev/null just at start.
Was tested for two weeks on Intel-platfom with help of my friends.

+ * Added /proc/null support.
+ * Jun-25-2001, Pavel Yakovlev <hac@subscribe.ru>
+ *
+ * About:
+ *
+ * /proc/null - counter for /dev/null's write traffic
+ * A counter is 4 * unsigned long width (4 is default, configured by WRITE_NULL_LEN)
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *
+ * echo 0 >/proc/null - reset to 0
+ *
+ * bc </proc/null - bytes writed to /dev/null
+ *
+ *
* Added devfs support.
