These two settings can also now both be overridden as module parameters in the event that users have hardware that does not respond well to the new defaults, or there is a desire to change the values for devices that do not have new defaults.

Thanks for the patches, they seem like a good improvement. There are still some
comments, though, you will find them inline.

Given that there already is a userland interface for the fuzz parameter - and it
is indeed in frequent use - this one does not seem warranted. If we are unsure
if the changes to the default are not all good, perhaps they should not be
changed at all?
