Another case where sysctls need to be set for a module, but sysctl.conf is
processed before the module is loaded.  Makes one almost tempted to have
/etc/modules/linux.conf which would look something like:

before_load {
};

after_load {
	sysctl compat.linux.osname="FreeBSD";
	sysctl compat.linux.osrelease="4.4-STABLE";
};

before_unload {
};

after_unload {
};

Hi,

I usually use /etc/sysctl.conf to modify two parameters

compat.linux.osname=FreeBSD
compat.linux.osrelease=4.4-Stable

The reason behind this is to be accounted for FreeBSD instead of Linux
... some day will have native freebsd code...

I get this result now:
%sysctl -a | grep os
...

pcib0: <Host to PCI bridge> on motherboard
<118>unknown oid 'compat.linux.osname'
<118>unknown oid 'compat.linux.osrelease'
<118> hostname
<118>	media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)

user.posix2_localedef: 0

jail.set_hostname_allowed: 1
compat.linux.osname: Linux
compat.linux.osrelease: 2.4.2

No changes !!

Thanks again.
