Please avoid /proc for anything.  The compression type has nothing to do
with processes, so it doesn't belong in /proc.

I would suggest either using a mount option if you want to make the
whole filesystem use a particular type of compression, or use xattrs to
specify compression type on a per file basis.  A third option would be
to use a sysfs entry similar to how you would use /proc.
