It can. In fact, I'm not sure about this patch anymore.
Original /proc/*/cmdline hook did get_cmdline() which is basically GUP.
It is just nobody said anything when /proc/*/cmdline got rewritten and
security folks aren't bitching about it:

	$ cat /proc/1/cmdline
	init [3]

I'll resend the rest of cmdline changes if they gets broken.
