Sorry, I'm not going to apply a patch with a changelog like that.

It needs a full description of how this will be used and why it is
needed.  So that others can understand and evaluate the proposal, and
any possible alternatives.

Such a description would also let us see whether this is just some
"hey, maybe we'll use this sometime" thing, in which case it should not
yet be applied.

Also, every change to any procfs interface should have an associated
change to procfs documentation.  If no relevant document exists then
heck, write one.  No exceptions.
