so now i've found out that there's also the /proc/sys/proc directory to which one should be able to write and thus make modifications to the system. since it is empty, do i just have to create a new file with the name /proc/sys/proc/pci and append only the lines i first wanted to add to /proc/pci? or do i need to copy the whole /proc/pci plus the new lines? any comments?
