procfs(5) contains abridged list of these kernel tunables. "ip netconf"
will decypher you some more, mostly network related.
The documentation for you current kernel is the ultimate source of such
knowledge. For stock Debian kernels it resides in linux-doc* packages.
But, on that rare occasion that the option isn't there - there are kernel
sources. Your kernel won't use the tunable anyway unless it's in the source ;)
