+Current inode allocations in the proc-fs (hex-numbers):
+
+ 00000000 reserved
+ 00000001-00000fff static entries (goners)
+ 001 root-ino
+
+ 00001000-00001fff unused
+ 0001xxxx-7fffxxxx pid-dir entries for pid 1-7fff
+ 80000000-efffffff unused
+ f0000000-ffffffff dynamic entries
+
+Goal:
+ a) once we'll split the thing into several virtual filesystems we
+ will get rid of magical ranges (and this file, BTW).
