The errors about unknown keys in boot messages are harmless, but annoying. Some keys may become unknown when some modules are disabled, yet the user may want to keep the sysctl.conf entries so they can take effect when the modules are subsequently (re)enabled. One example is the IPv6 module and the net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr key.
Thanks for the patch. However, I don't think this is what we want. As a general rule we don't hide any error/warning messages from the user. It might be that the user does not care, but it might also be that s/he misspelled the name of the key, or that there is some other error where action needs to be taken. Alternatively, you could keep all your ipv6 (or whatever) settings in a separate file in /etc/sysctl.d/ipv6.conf, and rename it to ipv6.conf.backup when you don't want them to be used...
