These numbers come from the IPV6 Neighbour Discovery RFCs.  IPV4 replicates
the Neighbour Unreachability Detection schemes of IPV6 in pretty much it's

OK, got it. At this point, I guess we should enhance the patch to use the
values plugged into the IPv4 arp table at the time IPoIB is loaded, with
arp_tbl being exported its easy to achieve. This would allow users to use
non-default values by the ipoib neigh handling logic. In a later step, we need
to see if/how to allow ipoib to use the already existing sysctl entries, makes
sense?

Sounds about right.
