The /proc filesystem is a virtual file systems, only really existant in core
memory. There is no actual file storage on any backing store for it. As you
can see from the /etc/fstab, it is specified without an actual disk partition
as first parameters on its definition line, which means that there is indeed
no disk space allocated for it (nor does it use any). As such, moving it to
a V-disk is actually impossible. Since it is served from storage by the kernel
it is about as fast as it can get.
