ugh, missed these before my last merge... anyway: why do we want to parameters writable? a good changelog tells me what, why and how, and this changelog just covered the "what". Also, I assume you've checked that it's OK for these variables to change at any time?

I want to be able to changes these parameters at run time. Eventually, if we might want these parameters as rdma connection setup parameters. For now, its useful to be able to set them without reloading. Also, it is safe to change them at any time. All of these are read once and utilized at connection setup. So changing them is safe in that existing connections aren't affected, and only subsequent connections will utilize the new values. Sorry for the terse changelog... Steve.
