Yes.

You shouldn't be working on 2.2.8 - the 2.2 branch is dead now. Save
yourself a lot of trouble and go to 3.1.

For linker set examples, look up the definition of the DECLARE_MODULE
macro to see how they are declared and read the kldload code to see
how they are used. Use e.g. <URL:http://lxr.linux.no/freebsd/source>;

You can declare sysctls in modules, but the sysctl code will not pick
them up so it's pretty useless. There is work pending to make that
possible.
