It is wrong to put these parameters into /proc anyway because they don't

- Solaris supports tuneables in /etc/system since ~ 1992.
True, but /etc/system is not an "interface" that we're proud of. I'm not
suggesting that they belong on /proc but we don't like them in /etc/system
since that requires reboot for effect (even for those that are dynamically
tuneable), performs no range checking, can brick the system etc. The
supported tuneables (as per the guide on docs.sun.com) should be tuneable
via some tool that offers sanity checking, recovery etc.
