Subject: [PATCH] Make sysctl obligatory except under CONFIG_EMBEDDED
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eab98702afa567927c9b052499b43acad2f25a1c;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] Make sysctl obligatory except under CONFIG_EMBEDDED

Make makes sysctl non-optional unless EMBEDDED is set.  There are a number
of interfaces exposed via sysctl, enough that it has to be considered core
kernel functionality at this point.
