It would: a) be nice if they were named the same as in FreeBSD; b) be
nice if they were accompanied by the other pair from FreeBSD; and c) be
even nicer if they behaved the same way as they do in FreeBSD (i.e. that
the range can be specified in high-to-low order to do the allocation
from top down).....  The code to actually implement the allocation in
this way should copy directly from FreeBSD so far as I can tell (though
of course NetBSD's sysctl variable definitions are done differently)
