Cc'ing Andrew for coordination on merging these sorts of patches.

I suspect Zhen will follow up accordingly.

So Andrew had merged tons of initial cleanups for kernel/sysctl.c. Now
that some of the initial grunt work and sysctls for fs are out of
kernel/sysctl.c, I'm seeing the next target seems to be the scheduler. I
don't think these *need* to go through Andrew's tree since the fs
changes are already on Linus' tree. So figured I'd drop this note to
just remind ourselves that if accumulate a few of these patches for one
subsystem there is a greater risk of a conflict later with another
subsystem doing some similar cleanup. So for the next release I think it
makes sense to keep this localized somehow if we can. Maybe we just deal
with these on Peter's tree?
