There is quite a bit of random cleanup on each kernel release
for sysctls to do things like what you just did. Because of this it has its
own tree to help avoid conflicts. Can you base your patches on the
sysctl-testing branch here and re-submit:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux.git/log/?h=sysctl-testing

If testing goes fine, then I'd move this to sysctl-next which linux-next
picks up for yet more testing.

Are scheduling folks OK with this patch and me picking it up on the
sysctl-next tree if all tests are a go?
