This raises a few interesting points that I haven't seen mentioned
before in this thread:

I wonder if this means that the correct behavior for
"kill(<other-users-process-id>, sig)" with this knob disabled is to
return ESRCH or EPERM?

Also, procfs obviously needs to be aware of any of these new controls
as well as the sysctl helper functions.
