I'm pretty sure.  Because it is a;; one kernel, the userland->kernel
sysctls just fall through to the host.

I've been meaning to try the VMWare ESXi 4.0 PCI card passthrough

Let me pass my Sun Crypto 1000 (BCM5921/23) through to a Jailhost
FreeBSD 7.2, then try it within a jail.  Should be quite a head trip.
