I've always been of the opinion that if we virtualize one part of the system, we should also virtualize the sysctl tree. This does not mean that each vimage should have its own copy of the entire tree, but rather that it should be possible to mark some sysctl nodes as virtualized. For instance, it would be useful on amd64 to be able to create an i386 vimage, where hw.machine and hw.machine_arch would be "i386". For PROC nodes, of course, this is easily done (as you already do) with INIT_VPROCG(TD_TO_VPROGC(curthread)), but the basic node types (int, long, string etc.) are a little trickier, and don't seem to be handled in your patch. (I probably just lost every shred of credibility by revealing that I have actually read parts of the patch, but hey, them's the breaks...)
