<title>[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl</title>

<id>0b4d414714f0d2f922d39424b0c5c82ad900a381</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Some of the current tlbwe instructions early on in head_fsl_booke.S take
advantage of unarchitected behavior that allows the writing of reserved
values to the TSIZE field.  This patch corrects that, as well as an error
where an uninitialized (by linux) value was written into a MAS register and
used for a tlbwe.

Correct this for both arch/ppc and arch/powerpc.
