From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> - unquoted
parse_table has support for calling a strategy routine
when descending into a directory. To date no one has
used this functionality and the /proc/sys interface has
no analog to it.
So no one is using this functionality kill it and make
the binary sysctl code easier to follow.
