Subject[PATCH 29/29] sysctl: Add register_sysctl for normal sysctl users
Date
The plan is to convert all callers of register_sysctl_table
and register_sysctl_paths to register_sysctl. The interface
to register_sysctl is enough nicer this should make the callers
a bit more readable. Additionally after the conversion the
230 lines of backwards compatibility can be removed.
