    Add the ability to adjust for unusual corner case failures. Both of
    these additional module parameters deal with embedded, non-intel or
    complicated system scenarios.
    
    Aif_timeout can be increased past the default 2 minute timeout to drop
    application registrations when a system has an unusually high event load
    resulting from continuing management requests, or simultaneous builds,
    or sluggish user space as a result of system load.
    
    Startup_timeout can be increased past the default 3 minute timeout to
    drop an adapter initialization for systems that have a very large number
    of targets, or slow to spin-up targets, or a complicated set of array
    configurations that extend the time for the firmware to declare that it
    is operational. This timeout would only have an affect on non-intel
    based systems, as the (more patient) BIOS would generally be where the
    startup delay would be dealt with.
