Inverse logic. allnoconfig sets, obviously, everything to `no',
including CONFIG_EMBEDDED. Now, only if you have this *enabled* (which
you have not) you are allowed to *disable* procfs. Go to menuconfig,
hit `/' and enter EMBEDDED.
See PROC_FS in fs/Kconfig:
config PROC_FS
bool "/proc file system support" if EMBEDDED
default y
Defaults to `y' and you can only frob it at all if EMBEDDED is set.
