Can you be more specific here..?  I went through the module parameters
and made the ones that where used in a per-port specific context into
configfs attributes as Roland recommended, but it seems like you are
saying that more should be made into attributes.  Which ones..?

Yep, was going to get this resolved post merge along with my patch now
in lio-core.git to address active I/O shutdown with ib_srpt.

As mentioned in the thread, I deferred to Roland's input on that one.
So you're saying this should be made back into a module parameter now,
or what..?
