[PATCH 2.6.18-rc4] aoe [10/14]: module parameter for device timeout

[Ed L. Cashin]

The aoe_deadsecs module parameter sets the number of seconds that
elapse before a nonresponsive AoE device is marked as dead.

This is runtime settable in sysfs or settable with a module load or
kernel boot parameter.
