in next patch (26/59) you write just "{ }". .ctl_name = 0 not required here.

Eric, though I personally don't care much:
1. I ask for not setting your authorship/copyright on the code which you just copied
  from other places. Just doesn't look polite IMHO.
2. I would propose to not introduce utsname_sysctl.c.
  both files are too small and minor that I can't see much reasons splitting them.

1. I ask for not setting your authorship/copyright on the code which you just copied
   from other places. Just doesn't look polite IMHO.
2. please don't name files like ipc/ipc_sysctl.c
   ipc/sysctl.c sounds better IMHO.
3. any reason to introduce CONFIG_SYSVIPC_SYSCTL?
   why not simply do
   > +obj-$(CONFIG_SYSCTL) += sysctl.o
   instead?

Eric, really good job!

Patches: 1-13, 15-24, 26-32, 34-44, 46-49, 52-55, 57 (all except below)
Acked-By: Kirill Korotaev <dev@openvz.org>

14/59 - minor (extra space)
25/59 - minor note	
33/59 - not sorted sysctl IDs
45/59 - typo
50/59 - copyright/file note
51/59 - copyright/file name/kconfig option notes

56,58,59/59 - will review tomorrow

another issue I have to think over is removal of de->owner.
Alexey Dobriyan has sent recently patching fixing /proc <-> modules refcounting.
I guess w/o these patches your changes are not safe if proc_handler or strategy
are functions from the module.

Thanks,
Kirill

I'd prefer '{ 0 }' here, but I'm fine with the '{ .ctl_name = 0 }'
too, just '{ }' seems confusing, and it actually might get
misinterpreted too ..

yep, agreed ...

sparc64:

init/main.c: In function `do_basic_setup':
init/main.c:707: warning: implicit declaration of function `init_irq_proc'

I couldn't be bothered working out how init/main.c is supposed to get at
its declaration of init_irq_proc().  It's not allowed to include
linux/irq.h.
