Well, but we should be fixing that, not adding more. And /proc is
info-only, while this is security related code.
Security tools read from /proc, so /proc is security-related.
The limit imposed by TOMOYO (or AppArmor) is fine,
despite being security-related. It just needs to fail in
the safe direction: access denied.
