Thanks for sending this one in.  We usually have some version of a
script that does similar in each product rootfs overlay.

I've reviewed the general function of the script is correct, I did not
verify the SYSCTL_SOURCES are all the right plans to include.  We
primarily just use the /etc/sysctl.conf default config and
/etc/sysctl.d/.

Why restrict to .conf?
