OK, it looks like the patch that adds the "depends on SYSCTL" to the LOCKD entry will cause NFS-enabled builds to break if CONFIG_SYSCTL is disabled, thanks to the recent addition of nlmclnt_init and nlmclnt_done. Probably the better solution in this case is to ifdef out the register_sysctl() call in lockd if CONFIG_SYSCTL isn't set. In the long run, should we make it possible to build the NFS client without lockd?
