The patches from Eric, that add support for so called ctl_paths
has recently being accepted, so I hope we can start using this
very useful feature.

To begin with, I switched the core kernel code to use the paths.
The rest code to be patched (after this set) will be:
 * arch-specifi,
 * some filesystems,
 * networking.

After this set the total vmlinux size decrease is ~500 bytes:

add/remove: 5/6 grow/shrink: 5/1 up/down: 121/-616 (-495)

ipc_root_table                                88       -     -88
fs_table                                     792     704     -88

The set is prepared to fit the 2.6.24-rc3-mm2 kernel with Eric's
patches concerning sysctls.
