As I noted I've dropped the following already-picked-up patches from
my queue:

ipmi: simplify sysctl registration
sgi-xp: simplify sysctl registration
tty: simplify sysctl registration

I've taken the rest now through sysctl-next:

scsi: simplify sysctl registration with register_sysctl()
hv: simplify sysctl registration
md: simplify sysctl registration
xen: simplify sysctl registration for balloon

If a maintainer would prefer to take one on through their
tree fine by me too, just let me know and I'll drop the patch.
