Kame: Another look into this:

sysctl_tcp_mem is a global value, unless you have different namespaces.
So it is either global anyway, or should come from the namespace, not 
the parent.

Now, the goal here is to set the maximum possible value for those 
fields. That, indeed, should come from the parent.

That's my understanding...
