Implementation wouldn't be probably too hard, but I can't agree it should
be committed. We need to know where jail's virtualization ends and I think
it is too far. Of course it will be cool to have those sysctl on per-jail
basics, as well as others from security.bsd. tree
(like security.bsd.suser_enabled), but I'm not sure this is the right way
to go.

Any other opinions? If someone convince me we should do it, I can do it.
