Subject: [PATCH net-next 10/19] net llc: Don't use sysctl tables with .child entries.

From: [email-masked] (Eric W. Biederman)
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2012 16:35:39 -0700

The sysctl core no longer natively understands sysctl tables with .child
entries.

Kill the intermediate tables and use register_net_sysctl directly to
remove the need for compatibility code.
