That would be tricky, since the peripheral registration process currently
expects a success/failure return from the peripheral constructor.

Just putting the sysctl creation in a task queue, though, would not be too
difficult.

One question I have, though, is whether task queues run in a thread context
or not.  If not, then we'll have the same problem.
