some feedback.

Normally we kmemdup a table per netns and update its data pointer, so we 
can reuse the proc_doint_minmax functions.

You should add proper error handling here?

user_atoi does return negative error values (as you implemented it), I 
think you should check before, otherwise the signed to unsigned 
conversion can cause huge memory allocations.

Why actually implement user_atoi?
