[ofa-general] srp_daemon not picking up all parameter from srp_daemon.conf

The srp_daemon used to login to SRP targets is not picking up more than
one module parameter from /etc/srp_daemon.conf. I've seen this behavior
with OFED 1.2, 1.2.5.3, and the IB software in 2.6.24-rc6.
Is this a bug or is the srp_daemon.conf not being used properly?
Here are a couple of examples:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
With one parameter on each line:
/etc/srp_daemon.conf
## This is an example rules configuration file for srp_daemon.

## allow target with the following id_ext and ioc_guid

max_sect was picked up, but max_cmd_per_lun is still the default.

With both parameters on one line seperated by a comma:

------------------------------------------------------------------
The original method for adding SRP targets still allows for more
than module parameter to be added. This method works fine.
