Currently, armv8_deprected.c takes charge of the "abi" sysctl directory, which makes life difficult for other code that wants to register sysctls in the same directory. There is a "new" [1] sysctl registration interface that removes the need to define ctl_tables for parent directories explicitly, which is ideal here. This patch ports register_insn_emulation_sysctl() over to the register_sysctl() interface and removes the redundant ctl_table for "abi".
