To be honest, I spent most of the time on that part, thinking that the
chances of getting this merged without discussion would improve if I
just implement this instead of providing wrong values to appease
killall5. Also, providing the correct values aligns our procfs more
closely with the Linux one, and that is one of the points of our
procfs, isn't it?
