It would be great if we push this through RDMA. Here are a few comments:
1. Having the upper bound be SYSCTL_INT_MAX is not necessary (as it is
   silently capped by proc_dointvec_minmax, but it is good to have as it
   gives understanding on what the spread of the values are.

2. Having the lower bound capped by SYSCTL_ZERO is needed as it will
   prevent ppl trying to assing negative values to the unsigned integers

Please let me know if you will push this through RDMA, so I know to
remove it from sysctl.

Best
