Making them work is a really trivial problem. Making them work without bloating the kernel is a somewhat less trivial problem, but quite doable. (I have one kernel-land implementation, but have been fighting with the linker to get it to do what I want - which would simplify the userland side). In any case, any new sysctl knobs should be adequately documented using the relevant documentation field. (And the old knobs should be updated as time permits). At worst, we can use a trivial perl or awk script to pull the documentation fields out of the source.
