This is a failure in the tunables framework. We should have internal APIs to detect: * Set by user. * Still set to default. I've run into this before when we were looking at some of the other tunables for x86. Please file an enhancement request for this and then we can look at implementing this and adding back the defaults. OK with the typo fix and upstream bug reference.
