Hi,

I think you maybe missed a point ....

All sysctls are tried init when they are created, both so-called 
"static" and "dynamic" ones.

If the sysctl is created inside the probe routine and has the tunable 
flag set, it will get init before the creation is complete, if present 
in the boot environment.

If the sysctl is of a "static" kind, it will be created and initialized 
when SI_SUB_KMEM is executing!
