This is a hack that must not go to any tree, but this
makes patch testing from shell possible.

When creating a new pid namespace one need to mount a new
proc instance in this space context. But the /proc will 
contain pids and self symlink only and this breaks some 
important tools like ps and sshd.

They expect /proc/stat, /proc/mounts and some other entries
to be present.

Without this patch the only possible way to test the
namespace is to make all the operations performed from
self-made programs. With it one may use general command
line tools.

This patch makes them visible, but this is ugly. Correct 
fix must make some kind of proc_entries namespace but this
is another interesting task.
