Change Details

Introduce two helpers, the more general SYSCTL_SIZEOF() and a struct-specific one SYSCTL_SIZEOF_STRUCT() which prepends 'struct' in the description and in the use of sizeof() but uses the raw structure name as the knob's name. The size of the object/structure is exported under 'debug.sizeof'. Existing knobs under 'debug.sizeof' were all converted to use the helpers. No functional change (intended).

Add a note before the helpers that no new sysctl knobs should be added under 'debug.sizeof' and list alternative, generic means to obtain the size of arbitrary kernel structures (thanks to markj@ for providing these).
