linux-next: manual merge of the sysctl tree with the mm-nonmm-unstable tree
From: Mark Brown

Hi all,
Today's linux-next merge of the sysctl tree got a conflict in:
kernel/time/jiffies.c
between commit:
842912dea6d51 ("sysctl: remove CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL, it just mirrors CONFIG_SYSCTL")
from the mm-nonmm-unstable tree and commit:
a3c70a5a9f944 ("sysctl: Generate do_proc_doulongvec_minmax with do_proc_dotypevec macro")
from the sysctl tree.
I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.
