This means that the pointer in kernel/sysctl.c:kern_table.data now
points at a bool but is declared to have size sizeof(int).

That happens to work with current gcc verions, but there's no rule
which states that sizeof(bool) must equal sizeof(int).

And I'm not sure that changing kern_table to use sizeof(bool) is really
worth all the bother.
