Thanks Randy and Vlastimil for the comments. I really liked your
approach Vlastimil, I agree that we have no reason to not have a generic
sysctl setting via cmdline mechanism - I'll rework this patch removing
the kernel parameter (same for other patch I just submitted).

If you can CC me on the new iterations of the generic sysctl patches
Vlastimil, I appreciate - I can maybe test that, I'd like to see it in
kernel.

Thanks,


Guilherme
