 * The kern.darkboot sysctl can be controlled from kexts or userspace. If
 * processes want to change the sysctl value, they require the
 * 'com.apple.private.kernel.darkboot' entitlement.
 *
 * Operating the kern.darkboot sysctl is done via using the commands below:
 *
 *      - MEMORY_MAINTENANCE_DARK_BOOT_UNSET
 *              Unset the kern.darkboot sysctl (kern.sysctl=0).
 *      - MEMORY_MAINTENANCE_DARK_BOOT_SET
 *              Set the kern.darkboot sysctl (kern.sysctl=1).
 *      - MEMORY_MAINTENANCE_DARK_BOOT_SET_PERSISTENT
 *              Set the kern.darkboot sysctl (kern.sysctl=1) and save its
 *              value into the 'darkboot' NVRAM variable.
 *
 * Example:
 *      sysctl kern.darkboot=2
