That was my review. I get that the origional commit avoids kmemdup for the
init_net case. My point was that, in so doing you created the need to special
case the handling of the sysctl table for init_net in 3 places now. It seems to
me that, while its always nice to save space, it would be cleaner programming to
just accept the need for the extra 1.6Kb of space and not have to worry about
the special casing.
