You know what?  I'm so fed up with that crap, that today Marcelo will
get a patch killing proc_get_inode(), making proc_lookup() static and
eliminating ->proc_iops completely.

Enough is enough.  comx is the only user of that crap and all procfs
code in comx is broken by design and trivially exploitable.  It's
unsalvagable and any attempt to fix it will amount to rewrite from
scratch anyway.

It's not a new problem, it had been discussed to hell and back and
comx folks could not have been arsed to do anything about it in what,
3 years?
