hrmmm, why does that sound like a bad idea to me?  But then, I don't
really know what the purpose of vshelper was anyway and why it's not
done in the kernel already.  Seems like it'd be a rather slow way to
access /proc stuff, which is rather concerning, and if you did all I/O
through it you'd end up with UML-like speeds I'd think. ;)

I'll be setting up a bunch more vservers soon, I'll be sure to provide
all kinds of comments about how that goes. ;)
