For those interested, this series of commits causes the following to
happen:

> sysctl kern.maxproc=1
Tunable values are set in /boot/loader.conf and require a reboot to take effect.
sysctl: oid 'kern.maxproc' is a tunable.

This should help reduce confusion for sysadmins trying to tune FreeBSD for
the first time.

Perhaps the documentation could be improved as well, but I'm too lazy to
tackle that right now.
