Subject: [PATCH 0/2] sysctl: Remove register_sysctl_table from sources

This is part of the general push to deprecate register_sysctl_paths and
register_sysctl_table. This patchset completely removes register_sysctl_table
and replaces it with register_sysctl effectively transitioning 5 base paths
("kernel", "vm", "fs", "dev" and "debug") to the new call. Besides removing the
actuall function, I also removed it from the checks done in check-sysctl-docs.

Testing for this change was done in the same way as with previous sysctl
replacement patches: I made sure that the result of `find /proc/sys/ | sha1sum`
was the same before and after the patchset.

Have pushed this through 0-day. Waiting on results..

Feedback greatly appreciated.

Best
Joel
