Just add it to the namespace set, and this could be a u8 (try to plug a
hole if possible) with min/max specified:

                .maxlen         = sizeof(u8),
                .mode           = 0644,
                .extra1         = SYSCTL_ZERO,
                .extra2         = SYSCTL_ONE


see icmp_echo_enable_probe as an example. And if you are not going to
clean up when toggled off, you need a handler that tells the user it can
not be disabled by erroring out on attempts to disable it.
