I would expect the #defines to be still needed (as we use them
when calling sysctl_createv) but IIRC the FOO_NAMES was used
by sysctl(8) before the move to the new sysctl(9)... though I
never really bothered checking.

If Andrew says they're not needed I'll do a sweep (!) of removing
them, if desired.
