The removal of the SYSCTL_INIT stuff breaks use of (at least) spdmem as 
a kernel module.  The following error occurs during modload:

kobj_checksyms, 880: [spdmem]: linker error: symbol `sysctl_spdmem_setup' not 
found
WARNING: module error: unable to affix module `spdmem', error 8

I have not checked any of the other affected files to see if they are 
also used as modules (and thus would suffer similar breakage).

Can you please either come up with an alternative mechanism for the 
modular version of spdmem, or revert this fix?
