Boot warning : kernel: [24] sysctl_warn_reuse: can't re-use a leaf (hw.dri.debug)!

Loading radeonkms.ko triggers this warning here as well. I don't know, but I assume it's harmless. Probably, the driver tries to create it while it already exists, or something like that.

The same here:
sysctl_warn_reuse: can't re-use a leaf (hw.dri.debug)!
Would be interesting to know what it is exactly.
 
I am noticing same message on my system 13.1-RELEASE. It has older Radeon HD 6850 graphic card. System works ok, here is snippet from dmesg:

It might be worth a PR, cause, "something is not quite right". But yeah, that's most likely more "cosmetic" ;)
