Yes, 0. 
I think that the discrepancy is because sysctl.conf is modified too late
in the game.
0. SSVM boots for first time
1. cloud-early-config figures out that scripts need to be patched
2. Scripts are patched and reboot is initiated. Sysctl is not modified yet
3. SSVM boots, steps 1-2 do not take place, figures out it is an SSVM
4. cloud-early-config modifies /etc/sysctl.conf, but DOES NOT execute
sysctl -w

Hence the runtime value of rp_filter remains 1 while the config file says
"0".
