Until someone addresses this issue with a permanent fix, is there
another choice? How can any userspace library that needs to issue
syscalls compile against the existing sysctl.h without this change? I'm
open to suggestions, obviously this was a quick and dirty fix (copied
from other existing headers in .../linux already, which is certainly no
excuse).
