Subject: [PATCH 0/6] sysctl: add dedicated stress test driver

Andrew,

This series adds a dedicated proc sysctl stress test driver and extends our
current set of tests. I spun this off from a larger series to first get the
basic knobs in place for unsigned int, which are now merged in your tree, so
this series depends on those patches.

The stress test driver uses a new license (GPL on Linux, copyleft-next outside
of Linux). Linus was fine with this [0] and later due to Ted's and Alans's
request ironed out an "or" language clause to use [1] which is already present
upstream.

If there are any questions please let me know.
