I finally tracked down now why the tunables patchkit disabled elision
on x86. The register function always calls the set function with
an empty string, and atoi returns 0 for that.

That results in all the elision configuration variables being
zeroed.

With this patch -- avoiding calling set_func for empty strings --
the tunables work as expected for me on x86.

Thanks, someone (Dmitry Levine, or was it Aureliene Jarno?) had
pointed this out to me at the Cauldron last year and I had fixed it in
my local copy.  I'll push my updated patches today, which should have
this change.
