  • The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
    sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
    pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

    I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
    register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
    duplicate sysctl entries.

    So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
    the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
    enhancments harder.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
