Joel, et al,

First of all, sorry for the hassle caused by my patches ;)

	If this patch is accepted, I'll send a couple of followup cleanups:

		kernel/sysctl.c:
			collapse the now-identical CONFIG_SYSCTL nesting

		drivers/parport/procfs.c, fs/dcache.c, and fs/file_table.c:
			drop the CONFIG_PROC_FS checks, now it is clear that
			CONFIG_SYSCTL depends on it

Now that I see both patches in
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joel.granados/linux.git/log/?h=jag/sysctl
let me ask..

Can I send these (minor) cleanups based on sysctl-next to you right now
(before I forget it ;) ?

Or it would be better to do this later, after they go upstream?

Oleg.
