Subject: 2.6.19-rc1 warning: process  used the removed sysctl system call

Hello everybody,

I have compiled 2.6.19-rc1 on my new shiny slackware 11.0 and I see
these messages:

root@...imero:~# dmesg  | grep warning
warning: process `touch' used the removed sysctl system call
warning: process `touch' used the removed sysctl system call
warning: process `dd' used the removed sysctl system call
warning: process `alsactl' used the removed sysctl system call
warning: process `kde-config' used the removed sysctl system call

I think this is because of 'CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL is not set'
(I have just copied .config from 2.6.18 to 2.6.19-rc1 and run
make bzImage && make modules)

This is my .config:

# General setup

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=""
# CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not set
CONFIG_SWAP=y
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y
# CONFIG_IPC_NS is not set
CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT=y
