We do have a procfs. Sensibly enough, it provides information on
processes.

The linux procfs is a huge directory tree with human-readable text
databases on everything in the system. Think of it as a replacement
for
	* sysctl,
	* netstat (all of: connection state, route table, arp table,
          protocol stats), 
	* vmstat (page statistics, etc)
	* hardware info (cputype, IRQ/DRQ mappings, etc.)
	* supported filesystems.

and I'm sure there are several I've left out.
I think emulating all of these faithfully would be a hard task.
