If /compat/linux is the official path, then the default linprocfs 
mountpoint should be /compat/linux/proc (that is what I always use). 
Just like the default home dir is /home/<foo>, not /usr/home/<foo>. 
/compat could just as easily be a different filesystem or a symlink to 
somewhere else.  So I do think the Handbook should be updated regardless.
