I hope such nodes won't be created by default, because I suppose that it
is dangerous to write to kernel variables directly from userland. But if
you create them manually and know what you are doing, that's fine.

Second question - will it be possible to create a sysctl that does not
correspond to a kernel variable, but rather the storage for it is
allocated on-demand? That way, it could be possible to even have a
Win32-like Registry :-).
