You could open the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<if>/<whatever> file, then
wait for interface to go away, try to grab as much memory as possible in
hope to hit the (kfreed) ctl_table. Then fill it with pointers to your
function. Then do read from file you've opened and if you are lucky,
you'll get it called as ->proc_handler() in kernel mode.
So this is at least an Oops and possibly more. It does depend on an
interface going away though, so less of a security risk than it would
otherwise be.

Patch from Richard Purdie
The Sharp SL-Cxx00 models have a combined power control for the SD
and CF slot 0. This patch adds hooks to the scoop driver to allow
machines to provide a custom control function for this and such a
function is added for spitz/akita/borzoi.
It also moves the gpio init code into the machine files as this
is machine dependent and differs between some models. A couple of
warnings when compiling for collie are also fixed.

At the moment, attempting to invoke a signal-handler on the normal
stack is guaranteed to fail if the stack-pointer happens not to be
16-byte aligned. This is because the signal-trampoline will attempt
to store fp-regs with stf.spill instructions, which will trap for
misaligned addresses. This isn't terribly useful behavior. It's
better to just always align the signal frame to the next lower 16-byte
boundary.

The original memory less node allocation attempted to use NODEDATA_ALIGN for
alignment. The bootmem allocator only allows a power of two alignments. This
causes a BUG_ON for some nodes. For cpu only nodes just allocate with a
PERCPU_PAGE_SIZE alignment.
Some older firmware reports SLIT distances of 0xff and results in bestnode
not being computed. This is now treated correctly.
The failed allocation check was removed because it's redundant. The
bootmem allocator already makes this check.
This fix has been boot tested on 4 node machine which has 4 cpu only nodes
and 1 memory node. Thanks to Pete Keilty for reporting this and helping me
test it.
