---------------------------
What: sys_sysctl
When: January 2007
Why: The same information is available through /proc/sys and that is the
interface user space prefers to use. And there do not appear to be
any existing user in user space of sys_sysctl. The additional
maintenance overhead of keeping a set of binary names gets
in the way of doing a good job of maintaining this interface.

What: PCMCIA control ioctl (needed for pcmcia-cs [cardmgr, cardctl])
