Kinda shocking that nowhere in this thread do we bring up the fact that
compat_linux is not currently being auto-loaded (since a 2017 change by
maxv).

As for the actual change, I'd like to see it integrated through
modules.conf, not via settings of default sysctl values. I think it's
bad user experience.
