[ofw] SA retry count and timeout settings?

Hi-
I found all my windows hosts in a state where their IPoIB adapter was 
disconnected, and I had to either disable/enable the device or reboot 
the host to get it back.

I discovered that an SM restart occurred around the time the network 
dropped off, and probably took 5 minutes or so to come back up (1200 
HCAs to map in).

The Event Log confirmed this correlation:
OpenIB IPoIB Adapter #5: Subnet Administrator query for port information 
timed out.  Make sure the SA is functioning properly.  Increasing the 
number of retries and retry timeout adapter parameters may solve the issue.

What I want to know is- where I can find these parameters to change, and 
what I should change them to.  Any reason it shouldn't simply retry 
infinitely?  I'm using driver version 614.

thx-

    Jeremy Enos
