Hmm...that's somewhat messy.  I somehow managed to miss the change to
kernel/sysctl.c that doesn't have much to do with documentation.  Stephen
(Kitt): I've reverted that change for now.  Could I ask you to resubmit it
as two different patches?  I'll happily take the actual docs change; the
sysctl change can be sent to the VFS tree on top of the changes there.

In general we really don't want to mix unrelated changes like this.

Thanks,

jon
