"didn't understand the discussion" is an ironic thing for you to +1,
David. After all my emails about HNS3 RDMA you somehow concluded today
that I want to make rules for the entire kernel:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/6faa47b0-27c3-47f9-94be-1ec671d9543c@kernel.org/

And I second what Ed said. I have asked multiple vendors preaching
impossibilism in this thread to start posting those knobs. I offered
to do a quick off-list review of the list of knobs they have to give 
a quick yay / nay, so they don't waste time implementing things that
would get nacked. None of the vendors bothered taking me up on that
offer.
