Alright. We have established that /proc/#/statm has been useless at least
since 2.4. Procps doesn't even bother reading it.
I propose this very non-invasive patch for 2.6. It replaces all values
printed in statm (all of which are either redundant or bogus) with 0s (for
kblockd and others statm is a line of zeroes already). IMO the real surgery
should happen in 2.7.
Comments? Andrew?
Best to just delete the code instead of the #if 0
