This patch fixes the following build error with CONFIG_SYSCTL=n:

I was going to ask if allowing drivers to increase rmem_max
is something that we want to do.  Apparently the road runner
driver has been doing this since the 2.6.12-rc1 when the
git repository starts so this probably isn't a latent bug.

Although it does rather sound like a driver writer yanking the rope from the hand's of the sysadmin and hanging him with it rather than letting the sysadmin do it himself. I've seen other drivers' README's suggesting larger mem's but not their sources doing it.
