Why not: .mode = S_IFDIR|S_IRUGO|S_IXUGO ?
You change it later and add IFDIR in patch 22/29 because of this
change (from 22/29):
- if (!table->child) {
+ if (!S_ISDIR(table->mode)) {
but if might as well be done here.

Somewhere above we have
struct ctl_table *table = PROC_I(inode)->sysctl_entry;
and sysctl_entry can take two values:
- NULL: fs/proc/inode.c:proc_alloc_inode()
- a non-NULL table in: proc_sys_make_inode()
The only inode that can be passed to proc_sys_lookup that can have
table=NULL is the root inode.
In that case head will be &root_table_header.
So head->ctl_table[1] == root_table_header.ctl_table[1] == root_table[1].

I think this could be improved to something like this:
/* table == NULL only for the procfs root directory */
table = table ? table->child : &root_table[1];
It's not that important, as this code will go away in a few patches.

Similar.
