However, this does range a bit far afield from the thread topic. The
basic point I was making is that sysctl offers a more semantically
rich and, to be honest, better defined way of interacting with live
subsystems than device files do in a generic sense. You can hammer
down semantics for device nodes, but the code associated with sysctl
is much simpler when the goal is to offer mib-like semantics even in
quite simple cases (integer set/put).

And there's even a MIB for that (perhaps someone even pointed it
already):
