How about exposing a simple userspace API for doing this, rather than
doing it via sysctl?

That way you could "simply" tie alternative overrides in as needed for
builds (eg, environment variables setting overrides; and/or pointing
to a configuration file with such) but not affect any runtime
detection the rest of the system is doing.
