I'm not opposed in principle to doing this (except that it should be a
sysfs parameter like all our other controls), but what's the reasoning
behind needing it changed?

Periodically turns up as a useful field sledgehammer for solving problems, until the real problem is found and fixed. Got tired of a very similar patch manually bouncing around the "hey, pssst, this worked for me" backchannel IT network.

Can you be more specific about sysfs location? A runtime-writable (via sysfs!) module parameter for a module-wide default seemed appropriate.
