Well, that's 0x7FFFFFFF. That means a little less than 2^31 securelevels to document. And I'm expecting this to be about 2^63 for 64 bit systems ;-) Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand sysctl_kern_securelvl() in kern_mib.c, it does not disallow setting the securelevel so high. It only disallows to lower it.
