This is a patch, for Karmic procps 3.2.8-1ubuntu1, that fixes the issue
the way suggested at the end of the debian bug list, by assuring the
linux version detection actually occurs before init_libproc, hence
removing the hack calculation for modern kernels with elf notes.
Originally, both init_Linux_version() and init_libproc() were attribute
constructor functions, and hence depended on elf loader side effects as
to whether the linux version code would happen to be called first.  This
patch resolves that issue, and I have verified the elf note method
returns correctly, and with the 100hz tick value, for ARM kernels.  One
will also have to use update-initramfs to update the boot ramdisk image
with the correct copy of procps binaries.
