I prefer not to go near that. Our sysctl documentation is a serious mess, 
and if someone wants to sort that out, that would be very great.
I.e. for a start, a description of all tcp related sysctls could be put 
into tcp.4, and then tcp.4 be Xref'd from sysctl.[89], i.e. move 
documentation of the sysctl knobs to the related topic.

There seems to be quite a few of these knobs, of which I know 0. :(
