Question on sysctl tree handling

[K. Macy]

You do understand that init needs to be run every time interface
settings are changed (TSO / PROMISC / CSUM/ etc)? Reallocating queues
and interrupts every time is fragile (long running systems can run low
on contiguous memory) and, in the common case that you're not actually
changing the number, gratuitous.

Cheers.
