This is to let bool variable could be correctly displayed in
big/little endian sysctl procfs. sizeof(bool) is arch dependent, 
proc_dobool should work in all arches.

Did Alexey Debriyan agree that this dealt with his objections?

Also it'd be nice to have a sign-off from somebody that's actually
touched sysctl.c.  Then I could take it through the nfsd tree if that
doesn't cause anyone trouble.
