    Subjectsysctl interface to bootflags?
    From
    Date
    As I've said, I think it would be nice to have /proc
    control over two boot flags: the DIAG bit (which switches
    on (1) and off (0) the BIOS diagnostics) and the PnP-OS bit
    (which switches on (0) and off (1) PnP BIOS device configuration).

    Would it be a good idea to do this using the sysctl infrastructure?
    If so, can someone please suggest an appropriate pathname for
    the flag files? How about "/proc/sys/BIOS/bootflags/diagnostics"
    and "/proc/sys/BIOS/bootflags/PnP-OS" ?

    If this is a bad idea, someone please stop me before I waste my
    time implementing it.
