Now that sys_sysctl is a compatiblity wrapper around /proc/sys
all sysctl strategy routines, and all ctl_name and strategy
entries in the sysctl tables are unused, and can be
revmoed.

In addition neigh_sysctl_register has been modified to no longer
take a strategy argument and it's callers have been modified not
to pass one.

It's unused.

It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl
shouldn't care about the rest.

It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

I want to compile out proc_* and sysctl_* handlers totally and
stub them to NULL depending on config options, however usage of &amp;
will prevent this, since taking adress of NULL pointer will break
compilation.

So, drop &amp; in front of every -&gt;proc_handler and every -&gt;strategy
handler, it was never needed in fact.

Phonet endpoints are bound to individual ports.
This provides a /proc/sys/net/phonet (or sysctl) interface for
selecting the range of automatically allocated ports (much like the
ip_local_port_range with IPv4).
