Subject: [PATCH] Make sysctl a separate filesystem
Sysctl files/inodes now have their own readdir and lookup
methods, so there is one step left in turning this into a
separate filesystem.
The benefits of this are:
1. this will allow to remove a fancy revalidation rules from
sysctl dentries (will be in a separate patch);
2. the same approach will make /proc/net implementation MUCH
cleaner in respect to net namespaces interaction, i.e.
no racy shadows and no revalidation for proc entries in
this subdir;
3. sysctl inodes are now smaller than the procfs ones.
Note: update your initscripts to mount sysctl filesystem
right after the proc is mounted in order not to lose your
/etc/sysctl.conf configuration (and optionally fstab).
