[ Email always comes back to haunt you ;]

sysclt definitely is deprecated. /proc is not.

I agree that it's probably better to use /proc/drivers/<drivername>, and I
shouldn't have said /proc/sys/xxx. Although in this case I like "sys"
better than "driver" as a name (it's just the sysctl _tables_ I hate, not
the _name_ /proc/sys)
