Ok. I missed that. Duh. I just saw Andrews drop message.
This looks like Alexey respun my patch, or else we were thinking on
parallel paths. Probably parallel given Alexey's dislike of
using the CTL_UNNUMBERED define.
There are two remaining gotchas:
- The directories have impossible permissions (writeable).
- The ctl_name for the kernel directory is inconsistent with
everything else. It should be CTL_KERN.
I think the patch below fixes that up but I haven't had a chance to
test it yet.
I kind of feel bad about being so picky but the this code is the
only place in the kernel where I have seen us violate either
of those rules, and it is a lot easier to deal with things
when they are consistent.
