Jay Fink writes “Andrew Brown has committed a complete rewrite of the
kernel’s sysctl infrastructure. Some of the new features

kernel’s sysctl infrastructure. Some of the new features
are:
- The kernel knows about (but does not currently use) the name to
number mapping for each node. Auto-discovery of the tree is now
possible. - Nodes can now be added to the tree by lkms, device attachment
routines or at securelevel 0 from the command line via the
sysctl binary. - Adding new nodes (or subtrees) to the sysctl tree is now much
simpler.
Andrew also cross compiled
150 kernels for 30 architecures
to see where some problems might come up. Additional
information can be found in Andrew’s email to
current-users“
