[Devel] [PATCH net-2.6.25 0/6] Use ctl paths in the networking code.

[Pavel Emelyanov]

This set almost completes the ctl paths usage in the 
networking code. The first patches doing this were accepted 
in the last year :), but they tuned only core, ipv4 and ipv6.

I thought, that splitting this into many subsystem would
produce too many patches, so I splitted it so, that most 
subsystems that are patched in a very similar way are 
merged into one patch to make the review easier. Hope this 
is OK.

After this set the vmlinux size becomes almost 4Kb less (when
all patched files are built-in):
