From a quick glance this looked mostly ok. Maybe one or the other patch I would
like to re-read a bit more in depth to understand what is done.
Just wondering about extending sysctl. Mainly whether this would make it
accidentally be part of a common interface and then is hard to get rid of.
And just for completeness, it does not hurt but doing changelog changes is
unnessecary as we won't use that. The kernel changelog is generated on packaging
from git commit log.
