Thanks. I will take a good hard look at this after -rc1 when things are
stable enough that I can start a new development branch.

I am a little concerned that the old sysctls have gone away. If no one
cares it is fine, but if someone depends on them existing that may count
as an unnecessary userspace regression. But otherwise skimming through
this code it looks good.
