It's a bit hard to believe, but it is this patch which triggered the
boot-time crashes� that several people, including me, observed.
Reverting it avoids the kernel panic, and I'm running a kernel with the
other 73 patches applied right now.

Must these be contiguous, i.e. 23?

The problem is elsewhere. Here's the fix.

Well spotted, that fixes it. Your mailer is broken however, it
converted tabs into spaces, so I had to add the changed line manually.

Bah. That DEVINET_SYSCTL_ENTRY requires having a binary sysctl
assigned, just to use as an index.

Which of course trips over all of the fine checks in sysctl_check.c to
keep people from assigning new binary sysctls by accident.

That is the only place in the kernel where he have that problem, I wonder
how much work it will be to finish untangling.
