I don't think you need to comment out anything. You can either just
live with these warnings, or remove the call to register_sysctl_table
in net/rds/sysctl.c - or maybe it's enough to build the kernel
without CONFIG_SYSCTL_CHECKS (or whatever it's called - there's an
option to turn off these extra checks)
