Subject: hpet: simplify subdirectory registration with register_sysctl()
Patch series "sysctl: second set of kernel/sysctl cleanups", v2.
This is the 2nd set of kernel/sysctl.c cleanups. The diff stat should
reflect how this is a much better way to deal with theses. Fortunately
coccinelle can be used to ensure correctness for most of these and/or
future merge conflicts.
Note that since this is part of a larger effort to cleanup kernel/sysctl.c
I think we have no other option but to go with merging these patches in
either Andrew's tree or keep them staged in a separate tree and send a
merge request later. Otherwise kernel/sysctl.c will end up becoming a
sore spot for the next merge window.
This patch (of 8):
There is no need to user boiler plate code to specify a set of base
directories we're going to stuff sysctls under. Simplify this by using
register_sysctl() and specifying the directory path directly.
