Do we really want sysctl?
Some quotes from it's man-page: "Do not use this system call! See NOTES."
"Glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call; call it using syscall(2).
Or rather... don't call it: use of this system call has long been discouraged, and it is so unloved that it is likely to disappear in a future kernel version. Remove it from your programs now; use the /proc/sys interface instead."
