Provide means to reserve a specific amount pages.
The emergency pool is separated from the min watermark because ALLOC_HARDER
and ALLOC_HIGH modify the watermark in a relative way and thus do not ensure
a strict minimum.

This allocation rank is an measure of the 'hardness' of the page allocation.

The slab allocator has some unfairness wrt gfp flags; when the slab cache is
grown the gfp flags are used to allocate more memory, however when there is
slab cache available (in partial or free slabs, per cpu caches or otherwise)
gfp flags are ignored.
Thus it is possible for less critical slab a

Because the sunrpc sysctls don't conflict with any other
sysctls the setting the insert at head flag to register_sysctl
has no semantic meaning.

The sysctl numbers used are unique so setting the insert_at_head
flag serves no semantic purpose.

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.

The sysctl numbers used are unique so setting the insert_at_head
flag does not succeed in overriding any sysctls, and is just
confusing because it doesn't. Clear the flag.

With this change the sysctl inodes can be cached and
nothing needs to be done when removing a sysctl table.
For a costk of 2K code we will save about 4K of static tables
(when we remove de from ctl_table) and 70K in proc_dir_entries
that we w
Since x25 uses unique binary numbers inserting yourself at the
head of the search list for sysctls so you can override already
registered sysctls is pointless.

In the binary sysctl interface the hpet driver was claiming to
be the cdrom driver. This is a no-no so remove support for the
binary interface.

binfmt_misc has a mount point in the middle of the sysctl and
that mount point is created as a proc_generic directory.
Doing it that way gets in the way of cleaning up the sysctl
proc support as it continues the existence of a horrible hack.

The real time clock driver was using the binary number reserved
for cdroms in the sysctl binary number interface, which is a no-no.
So since the sysctl binary interface is wrong remove it.
