Just one question: WTF bother with S_IRUSR? Note that it's absolutely
_useless_ in procfs; any kind of permission checks must be done in
read(2) time since doing it in open(2) is worthless. Consider execve()
on suid binary; oops, there goes your uid and there goes the effect
of checks done by open(2). And if you *do* checks in read(2), why bother
duplicating them in open(2)?
