From the perspective of Capsicum sandboxes, a device node is better than a 
sysctl.  The kernel must hard-code policy about which sysctls are permitted, 
but access to file descriptors is decided on a per-sandbox basis and is 
configurable by the user.  The same applies to jails, although it's slightly 
more effort to make device nodes appear inside a jail.
