Peter, Andrew,

I'm starting to get more sysctl patches under kernel/ other than the
scheduler. To avoid low quality patches, try to see proactively what
conflicts may lie ahead, ensure everything is applies on linux-next,
and to ensure all this gets baked through 0-day for a while, I'm
going to shove all pending patches into a sysctl-next branch based on
Linus' tree.

I think it doesn't make sense now to just say, do this for sched for one
release. I think we need to get these more widely tested in a faster
way, and to get conflicts ironed out faster too.

Are you folks OK if say Stephen adds a sysctl-next for linux-next so
we can beat on these there too?

FWIW queued on sysctl-next [0].
