I need to pass it an arbitrary-length table; I didn't see how sysctl
could really handle that. Then again, I'm not exactly a sysctl expert.
If you know of an example where people pass multi-kb args to a sysctl,
then please let me know. (The syscall passes a pointer and a length
argument; I need something similar.)
