Understood. I have just sent Linus the changes for sysctl-next, so those
should land in master soon (baring any issues with the pull request).

These [1] and [2] are the two series in net-dev that are the deps for
the constification treewide patch. Once these two go into mainline, then
we are good to go. Right?
