Eric W. Biederman 0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl 
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

	README
	------

	This directory is mostly for Wireless LAN drivers, in their
various incarnations (ISA, PCI, Pcmcia...).
	This separate directory is needed because a lot of driver work
on different bus (typically PCI + Pcmcia) and share 95% of the
code. This allow the code and the config options to be in one single
place instead of scattered all over the driver tree, which is never
100% satisfactory.

	Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs,
you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto :
		http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/
	Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of
Wireless Tools to be configured :
		http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html

	Special notes for distribution maintainers :
	1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs
	2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts

	Have fun...
