linprocfs uses parts of the procfs code; for instance, linprocfs's
<pid>/exe and procfs's <pid>/file are backed by the same code.  In the
case of <pid>/cmdline, which exists with the same name in both FreeBSD
and Linux, linprocfs relies on procfs's cmdline to "show through"
rather than duplicate it.
