Ok I havent't heard much more feedback from networking folks, and
since this is mostly sysctl love I've taken in the rest of these
patches. Thanks to Jani Nikula for the reviews and to Greg KH for

Let's see what busts in linux-next, and if anything does I can reset
my tree back to only the first 7 patches.
