I'm afraid you lost me here. Tunable/sysctl name is not related in any
way with the warning we are printing. How can you tell
kern.ipc.maxsockets affects limits of eight different UMA zones?
Also rate-limiting is not only used to print warnings, current
ppsratecheck() function just answer the question if the limit should be
enforced (something is happening too frequently) or not.
