Reset restart. This is patch is total nonsense.

- You are using register_sysctl_table which as I believe I have
mentioned is a deprecated compatibility wrapper. The point of
spring house cleaning is to get off of the deprecated functions
isn't it?

- You are using the old nasty form for creating directories instead
of just passing in a path.

- None of this is even remotely necessary. The directories
are created automatically if you just register their entries.
