I don't think this should go in at all.
It increases the size of the proc structure (thereby affecting _all_
processes) gratuitously. While I'm generally in favour of having the process
arguments kept around, the "BSD way" has been to only examine them in user
memory, despite that being unreliable and just annoying.
The benefits are fairly minimal, and I don't believe justify the cost
incurred.
