I thought turning some of the kernel options into sysctls would be a
forward-looking project, but I've run into a snag: Where do I add
them?

Example: I'm trying to convert the SPX_HACK option into the sysctl
"<something>.ibcs2_spx_hack".  I was planning to make <something>
"user", but it seems "user.*" sysctls are defined in
/sys/kern/kern_mib.c.

How is the intended direction forward for this?  Should I just extend
the "user." space to include this, also breaking the present kern_mib
limitation?

Eivind.
