Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: create sys/fs/binfmt_misc as an ordinary sysctl entry
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.21-rc1~196
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2abc26fc6b6f60fc70d6957b842ef4e5f805df7b;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] sysctl: create sys/fs/binfmt_misc as an ordinary sysctl entry

binfmt_misc has a mount point in the middle of the sysctl and that mount point
is created as a proc_generic directory.

Doing it that way gets in the way of cleaning up the sysctl proc support as it
continues the existence of a horrible hack.  So instead simply create the
directory as an ordinary sysctl directory.  At least that removes the magic
special case.
