Benoit,

  Its experimental. I've taken the procfs.tar.gz tarball and updated it
to include restricting the view of /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/stat 

  The updated version is up on
http://www.tinola.com/lxc/procfs-1.2.tar.gz

  However there are some known bugs with it. 

The first is  that /proc/self does not work. 

The second is that files which are just passed through the fuse procfs
module with zero size (which is common) will not work. (so, for example 
cat /proc/slabinfo will return nothing). However, if I fix that other
worse things break :-).

 The /proc/self thing breaks java for me, so I'm thinking about the best
way to proceed here at the moment.
