Subject: [PATCH 5/7] sgi-xp: simplify sysctl registration

Although this driver is a good use case for having a directory
that is not other directories and then subdirectories with more
entries, the usage of register_sysctl_table() can recurse and
increases complexity so to avoid that just split out the
registration to each directory with its own entries.

register_sysctl_table() is a deprecated compatibility wrapper.
register_sysctl() can do the directory creation for you so just use
that.
