Having a hard time understanding what you are trying to do here: is it
that there are variables that are being defined statically in two (or
more) different files and you want to consolidate them into sysctl
variables?

What size are you referring to? by how much?

The cover letter came separately and the patches are replying to a
non-existent mail. Is this due to some funkiness that Tencent does tot
he outgoing mail?
