NOTE after you get this merged, I'm going to update sysctl03.c.
This warning is really old, it was added in b49b375167 ("Make test pass with
undoc'ed sysctl(2) behavior.") (in 2010) and references
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15446, which was fixed in 2012.

Thus warning is not needed any more. But as the test also requires converting to
docparse, I'll do it in separate patch.

Kind regards,
Petr
