I assume this is just a leftover from some earlier approach?  These
module parameters are just ignored now, so the patch seems kind of
pointless.

Anyway I think the approach of having one global setting for all CQs
is not a good one -- it seems likely that for example IPoIB and SDP
would want different settings, not to mention userspace applications.
