I'll drop

test_sysctl-add-dedicated-proc-sysctl-test-driver.patch
test_sysctl-add-generic-script-to-expand-on-tests.patch
test_sysctl-test-against-page_size-for-int.patch
test_sysctl-add-simple-proc_dointvec-case.patch
test_sysctl-add-simple-proc_douintvec-case.patch
test_sysctl-test-against-int-proc_dointvec-array-support.patch

Luis, could you please redo these against the changes in linux-next and
resend?

Thanks.
