------------------------------------------------------
Subject: sysctl: simplify ipc ns specific sysctls
From: "Eric W. Biederman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Refactor the ipc sysctl support so that it is simpler, more readable, and
prepares for fixing the bug with the wrong values being returned in the
sys_sysctl interface.
The function proc_do_ipc_string() was misnamed as it never handled strings.
It's magic of when to work with strings and when to work with longs belonged
in the sysctl table. I couldn't tell if the code would work if you disabled
the ipc namespace but it certainly looked like it would have problems.
