Yes, thanks, I missed that.

Yes, I didn't even try to grep other files.

Hmm. I am m just curious how difficult it is to create a "complete" patch
which puts all the sysctl-related code under ifdef(SYSCTL)... May be something
like below but I don't understand net/rds, most probably it is wrong and I am
not sure it makes a lot of sense. Plus I have not idea how to test it.

Yes, I thought about a simpler patch too. Perhaps just

Allison, up to you. Whatever you prefer.
