    kernel - Make certain sysctl's unlocked
    
    * Automatically flag all SYSCTL_[U]INT, [U]LONG, and [U]QUAD
      definitions CTLFLAG_NOLOCK.  These do not have to be locked.
      Will improve program startup performance a tad.
    
    * Flag a ton of other sysctls used in program startup and
      also 'ps' CTLFLAG_NOLOCK.
    
    * For kern.hostname, interlock changes using XLOCK and allow
      the sysctl to run NOLOCK, avoiding unnecessary cache line
      bouncing.
