[PATCH] sysctl: implement CTL_UNNUMBERED
This patch takes the CTL_UNNUMBERD concept from NFS and makes it available to all new sysctl users. At the same time the sysctl binary interface maintenance documentation is updated to mention and to describe what is needed to successfully maintain the sysctl binary interface.
