To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just care about the core logic. So move the firmware configuration sysctl table to the only place where it is used, and make it clear that if sysctls are disabled this is not used.
