From fea478d4101a4285aa25c5bafaaf4cec35026fe0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:47:03 -0800 Subject: sysctl: Add register_sysctl for normal sysctl users 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.
