Thanks for these patches, I hope to review and test them soon.  From an
initial quick scan through, I think the changes may be easier reviewed if
split up into more than one patch. For example, could the changes to move
the "SYSCTL_INT" declarations from being in global to local scope be
separated out into one patch? Also, if the kernel module changes are
backward compatible, they could be in a separate patch to the userspace 
changes to take advantage of the kernel module enhancements.

Is such a split possible or are all the changes tightly tied together?
