I'm doing some work that requires that I have a sysctl structure
be passed around, but inside that structure are several pointers I
may need to dereference.

Basically:

struct mysysctldata {
   .... (data here)
   void *moredata;
   size_t morelen;
};

What is the proper way of sysctl'ing IN the data from moredata?

I need to make a copy of the sysctl req, but... I'm not sure what
to initialize the 'lock' member to.

Any hints would be appeciated.
