i've added a check such that the sysctl fail with EOPNETSUPP when securelevel 
is >0. i did this by simply checking the value of the integer securelevel.  
is there a better way to check the securelevel value?  or just directly 
referencing the value good enough?

also, to go along with the naming of the kernel option, i've changed the 
sysctl name from reservedports to privports.  the functionality remains the 
same (other than the securelevel check).  does that make sense?
