This is probably the best argument to stay away from sysctl for module
parameters.. It is tricky to make sure the rdma module is loaded
before sysctl runs in boot, and I don't think sysctl autoloads missing
modules, or somehow copes with dynamic module loading, does it?

To that end we should probably have the entire sysctl configurable
available in netlink
