Regarding removal of these mount options and sysctls: initially these all look
pretty reasonable but we need to be very careful here. I've read some
discussions on lkml that seem to suggest that such interfaces which have been
exported to userspace shouldn't be removed at all. Not that I want to keep
around a bunch of worn out interfaces...

Applied.
