All these magic numbers come from net/ax25/sysctl_net_ax25.c, where
min/max values of each field are set for sysctl.  Is it okay to use

The sysctl range is the 'standard' range, but it's always historically
been possible to override them in apps for special cases. I'm wary of
changing that because people do insane things like AX.25 bounced off the
moon where you need very long timeouts.
