My concern is wrt. making sure that there are no unfortunate
discrepancies between our block device read/write request timeouts and
any error recovery timeouts values set in device firmware.

MD kicking disks is just a symptom that there's a generic issue in this
area.

Yep.

That is why this "feature" also should set the timeout to an appropriate value
at the same time. "Just another line of code" ;-)
