I did something like that in this patch series I sent a month ago
which was mostly ignored (except for a call from David Miller for
feedback on the patches):
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1121889

I'll see how I can add the optional parent directory in this patch series.

Could you please take a look at a few patches in the above series?

The ones that have "cookie:" add a cookie pointer to the
ctl_table_header making it possible to skip duplicating ctl_table
arrays in a few places in the kernel. After finishing this series I'll
send one with the cookie..
