You would put something like
abc.param="123" in loader.conf or add it via kenv, and then in your
variable declaration area:
static int myparam = 0;
TUNABLE_INT("abc.param", &myparam);
That works for a module that can only be loaded once, and a static
tuneable name. If you don't know the name of the tunable until your
driver is loaded, you can use the TUNABLE_INT_FETCH() macro in a
function. Sysctls are recommended if you have a value that can be
changed after the module is loaded.
If you are writing a device driver, take a look at how if_fxp.c pulls
in per-device tunable/sysctls (search for bundle_max).
