This change affects the KBI, as sysctl declarations now include an
additional pointer. The underlying sysctl registration function also
gained an additional argument. That said, if you simply rebuild all
kernel modules, this shouldn't cause any regressions, or are you
saying those persist? If so, this is definitely not an intended
side-effect of this change and we should look into it.
