Also, heads up:
I found that 'tlp' in `/etc/default/tlp`, on ArchLinux, will overwrite the values set in `/etc/sysctl.d/*.conf` files if these are set to non `0`, ie.
MAX_LOST_WORK_SECS_ON_AC=10
MAX_LOST_WORK_SECS_ON_BAT=10
will set:
vm.dirty_expire_centisecs=1000
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=1000

regardless of what values you set them in `/etc/sysctl.d/*.conf` files.

/etc/default/tlp is owned by tlp 1.2.2-1

Not setting those (eg. commenting them out) will have tlp set the to its default of 15 sec (aka =1500). So the workaround is to set them to =0 which makes tlp not set them at all, thus the values from `/etc/sysctl.d/*.conf` files is allowed to remain as set.
