Hi,
I've been tweaking the sysctls here and there for some time now, and I'd like to see what is the current opinion on implementing sysctl tree as a filesystem. Most of the work I've done with dynamic sysctls is very similar to what happens with filesystem. Also, filesystem model allows for much more fine-grained access control.
If you are still interested in doing this, see `man kernfs' which is a prototype of a filesystem designed to show (and in some cases modify) kernel information.

Andrezj,
You might want to talk to Kelly Yancey <kby...@FreeBSD.org> as well. I know he has a nearly-finished implementation of sysctlfs lying around.
