Some solutions:

- mount procfs on boot :->

- modify init(8) to not need /dev/tty (which would be a pity, because
  session management before starting boot scripts is damn handy)

- put all the virtual filesystems under a (known, fixed) kernel
  namespace and allow a way to access that namespace from user-space
  (alternative to mounting procfs at boot, so that we don't get
  bleatings about "policy").
