One question here. Is it important here that the # be consistant? I mean since to change a sysctl isn't the name the important bit? ie: dev.md.speed_limit would work regardless of if DEV_MD is 3 or 4?
These nodes are accessible via both /proc/sys/* and the sys_sysctl(...) system call, the latter uses the numbers so they are hard coded into application binaries.
