[DOCUMENTATION PATCH] Missing net sysctls, some fixed, rest flagged

[bert hubert <ahu@ds9a.nl>]

Dave, Lists, 

I ran the following (crappy) script:

for b in $(for a in $(find | grep -v eth0 | grep -v binfmt)
                do 
                        basename $a
                done | sort -u); 
                do 
                        if rgrep -q $b ~/download/linux-2.6.6/Documentation/ 
                        then
                                touch /tmp/script
                        else
                                echo $b missing
                        fi
                done

In /proc/sys/ and found a host of undocumented sysctls. This patch documents
a number of them, and at least mentions the rest as 'TODO'. Please verify my
code-inspired documentation before applying!
