I've not been following too closely, but my thoughts follow.  Note that 
I'm normally *not* a fan of having a large number of tunables.  Its too 
easy for users to get themselves into a bad configuration, and the 
complexity they add is IMO more painful then the benefit many of them bring.

ip_fragment_timeout: why needed -- IMO this should be self tuned based 
on link speed.  Or perhaps instead of link speed, watch the IDs go by.  
If more than 256/2 (i.e. 128) IDs go by, the fragment could be tossed.

ip_reass_queue_bytes: this shouldn't be touched by users.  It should be 
self-tuned.

ip_def_ttl: why would anyone still need to tune this?  I'd be happy with 
this being locked away in a global (and undocumented) /etc/system variable.

ip_ire_pathmtu_interval: the "_ire_" component of the name is not user 
friendly.  And again, why would this need to be tuned?

ip_ire_redirect_interval: this one looks fishy to me.  why needed?

ip_addrs_per_if: this should not need to be tuned.  A better design 
would make it effectively unlimited.

The others look fine.  I wish we didn't need ip_lso_outbound, but I can 
see its utility.
