I know that you try to match the posix name, but when looking at the
prctl w/o knowing about DELAYTIMER_MAX, it's non intuitive.

Something like posixtimer_max_overruns or if you insist on the
delaytimer_max part, then let us prepend it with posixtimer_ at least.

New prctls require an update of Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt.

Thanks,
