sysctl.d: Include a README file for /etc/sysctl.d/
Our sysctl script has read from /etc/sysctl.d/ but the directory was not created by default, and we didn't document it. X-Gentoo-Bug: 398189 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398189 Signed-off-by: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org>

Kernel system variables configuration files
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Files found under the /etc/sysctl.d directory that end with .conf are
 | 
			
		||||
parsed within sysctl(8) at boot time.  If you want to set kernel variables
 | 
			
		||||
you can either edit /etc/sysctl.conf or make a new file.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The filename isn't important, but don't make it a package name as it may clash
 | 
			
		||||
with something the package builder needs later. It must end with .conf or else
 | 
			
		||||
it will not be read.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The recommended locationfor local system settings is /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf
 | 
			
		||||
but as long as you follow the rules for the names of the file, anything will
 | 
			
		||||
work. See sysctl.conf(5) man page for details of the format.
