Hmm. You're assuming that interrupts are working when the hooks are run, rather than assuming that it's safe to do things which will subsequently cause interrupts which ought to be correctly handled. I'd hazard a guess that the presence of modules is causing the kernel linker to run and pull all the sysctl hooks for modules it's finding.

That's such a hopelessly naive attitude that I really hope it's a joke.
