Summary

An attempt to reduce the number of sysctls in the system that are missing descriptions.

I've taken some effort to examine each of the sysctls to determine their purpose, but due
to the range and quanitity of changes some descriptions may require additional detail. Input
is appreciated from anyone with relevant knowledge.

In addition to the grammar and functional accuracy of the descriptions added, there will undoubtedly
be some sysctls that I have missed. Please feel free to mention them in the appropriate thread and
I will add those descriptions.

This patch covers device and driver related sysctls mostly under dev.
Some of the areas touched by this patch:

  • if_an
  • if_ath
  • if_cs
  • if_rl
  • bktr
  • vmxnet3

sys/kern/subr_bus.c

Could this be moved to sys/kern/kern_mib where all the other root nodes are declared?
