There are three situations where the sysctl script is called:
1. "start", very early
2. "lastload", near the end of rc
3. "reload", at admin request while the system is booted
Ignore unknown OIDs in situation 1 because kernel modules may not be loaded
yet and complain about them in situations 2 and 3.

FILESYSTEMS (the default early_late_divider):
1. Move sysctl to run first
2. Move as many BEFOREs to REQUIREs as possible.
3. Minor effect, move hostid_save from right before mdconfig to right
after.
A lot of the early scripts make use of sysctl one way or another so
running this first makes a lot of sense given that system-critical
values are often placed in sysctl.conf.
My original purpose for working on this was that while doing some
debugging on other stuff I noticed that the order of execution was
different in the first pass through the early scripts and the second.
In practice that doesn't matter because the scripts are not executed the
second time. However this _can_ result in problems if the difference in
the rcorder moves a script from the late section to the early section in
the second pass (which would mean the script would not get executed).
So, I wanted to make the order of execution of the scripts in the early
section more deterministic.
In the course of debugging the ordering problems I noticed that moving
the BEFOREs to REQUIREs prevented the changes in order from the first
pass to the second pass without having to make any substantial changes.
(Of course it's no secret that I think BEFORE should be avoided as much
as possible, but this is a good example of why.)

MFC after: 8.1-RELEASE
- Add rc.d/stf and rc.d/faith for stf(4) and faith(4).
- Remove rc.d/auto_linklocal and rc.d/network_ipv6.
- Move rc.d/sysctl to just before FILESYSTEMS because rc.d/netif
depends on some sysctl variables.

rc.sysctl:
A generic way to set sysctl values. It reads /etc/syslog.conf
and sets values based on that. No /etc/syslog.conf has been
checked in yet, and I've not added this to the makefile yet
