Hi all,

After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next boot tests
(qemu powerpc pseries_le_defconfig) produced these warnings:

  sysctl table check failed: vm/øIe^B Not a file
  sysctl table check failed: vm/(efault) No proc_handler
  CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.17.0-rc4 #3
