Can't hit ENOTDIR:

# sysctl kern=ireallyshouldnotbedoingthis
sysctl: oid 'kern' isn't a leaf node

Can't hit EPERM:

# sysctl kern.boottime=1000
sysctl: oid 'kern.boottime' is read only

Not sure how to hit EINVAL, other than maybe try and read a sysctl
that dynamically populates itself (this might trigger ENOMEM errors
though):

# sysctl kern.i.am.a.fun.oid.or.something.like.that.yadda.yadda=1000
sysctl: unknown oid
'kern.i.am.a.fun.oid.or.something.like.that.yadda.yadda': No such file
or directory

FWIW I think Conrad's right though about fixing the message to be more
meaningful in the errno != ENOENT case though.

Thanks!
