Hi Jamal,
I have attached two patches for linux/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt.
One is for 2.5.45 kernels, and the other is for 2.4.19 kernels. I actually
don't think there is a need for two patches, but I thought I would go with
the safe side.
This is a first time patch for me, so please forgive me if there's
anything wrong with the format etc.
Let me know if there is any problems with the patches.
