My familiarity with fs/proc/base.c is currently limited to the OOM-related
code. Meaningfully splitting other parts of base.c would require time to
study those modules first, which I don't have available in the near term.
I may revisit a broader cleanup when I have the bandwidth to do it properly.

For now, I'd like to withdraw this patch rather than leave it hanging.

Appreciate the review.
