Right now, the /proc and sysctl code is not changed at all.
However, the end goal will be to remove the /proc and sysctl code entirely, and just use sysfs, as this is exactly what sysfs is for. I know, in order to do this properly the userspace library will need to be changed, and I'm willing to do this work too. I do not want to break userspace compatibility needlessly.
I'll not remove anything until the same functionality can be achieved, is this ok? I will, of course, provide patches that for people to evaluate, when it's working...

Christoph's changes preserve the existing code, but make it work without oopses :)
