patching is not necessary. look at 
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h

there are the functions for creating a proc entry.
should be some 10 lines of code including handling the string to int
conversion.

thats why i dont consider it necessary. what do you need the proc entry
for fernando ?

the question is, if we want to backport the functionality to 2.4...
then we would need the proc entry in the 2.6 module also for
consistency.
