doc/research: Describe all p1003_1b.* sysctl's that lack a description

completed by: Taras Klaskovsky

mentors: Samuel J. Greear

The p1003_1b.* sysctl's that lack a description are as follows:

p1003_1b.asynchronous_io:
p1003_1b.mapped_files:
p1003_1b.memlock:
p1003_1b.memlock_range:
p1003_1b.memory_protection:
p1003_1b.message_passing:
p1003_1b.prioritized_io:
p1003_1b.priority_scheduling:
p1003_1b.realtime_signals:
p1003_1b.semaphores:
p1003_1b.fsync:
p1003_1b.shared_memory_objects:
p1003_1b.synchronized_io:
p1003_1b.timers:
p1003_1b.aio_listio_max:
p1003_1b.aio_max:
p1003_1b.aio_prio_delta_max:
p1003_1b.delaytimer_max:
p1003_1b.pagesize:
p1003_1b.rtsig_max:
p1003_1b.sem_nsems_max:
p1003_1b.sem_value_max:
p1003_1b.sigqueue_max:
p1003_1b.timer_max:

Research these sysctl's in the kernel code and document each with a descriptive but concise sentence (approximately 3-15 words).

 

Deliverables: A description of each sysctl listed above.

Bonus deliverables: The above descriptions in the form of a kernel patch
