<title>[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl</title>

<id>0b4d414714f0d2f922d39424b0c5c82ad900a381</id>
<content type='text'>
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

Since the binary sysctl numbers are unique putting the registered sysctls at
the head of the sysctl list where they can override existing sysctls serves no
useful purpose.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
