The big problem is that ksysctrl is VERY ia32 centric, as well as Linux
centric, and as such IMO should be in the kdelinux module or somesuch.

OTOH the kcminfo modules are abstracted reasonably well, altho they could
stand to be reorganized a bit.  But IMO kcontrol is the proper place for
such information, and if someone wanted to add the ability to tweak some
of these settings to kcminfo, why not?
