Subject: [PATCH 2/4] munmap: sysctl extension for tunable parameter

From: Geunsik Lim <geunsik.lim@...sung.com>

Support sysctl interface(tunalbe parameter) to find a suitable munmap
operation unit at runtime favoringly

* sysctl: An interface for examining and dynamically changing munmap opearon
          size parameters in Linux. In Linux, the sysctl is implemented as
	  a wrapper around file system routines that access contents of files
	  in the /proc
