What do these 100 odd patches do exactly?
I think DEFINE_SYSCTL()/ELF section would be the correct direction to go for all global variable sysctls.
Then the binary sysctls could be handled by a global table in a separate file like you described
[My old patch back then also had a sysctl_name() syscall to still allow changing sysctl without mounting /proc, but that wasn't very popular]
For dynamically generated sysctls (relatively rare but there) the current interfaces are not great, but could be probably kept.
That all doesn't really need 100 patches though.
