Uh.... so we're going to have a different sysctl variable for each device?!! Lame.
That's what I like(d) best. But after seeing how totally sucky our sysctl is implemented in the kernel and what a pain it is to add a new one, I might consider having a common one.
Why not a :-separate path, with the device driver deciding the final component of the name??
I'll think about it. -- Lennart
