    rx: Make rx_softAckDelay & rx_lastAckDelay private
    
    The values of these two parameters directly affect the modifiers
    that are needed in the peer's RTT calculations, and so can not
    arbitrarily be changed by applications.
    
    lastAckDelay has been 400ms since the first OpenAFS release, and
    that value is used as a modifier when computing the timeout of the
    last packet. It is likely that any change which made this value
    longer than 400ms would have detrimental effects on deployed clients
    
    softAckDelay has been 100ms for a similar time period. We have
    chopped and changed the value of minPeerTimeout, so it is unclear
    what the maximal value for this parameter is. For much of OpenAFS's
    life, minPeerTimeout was a 350ms padding value, which suggests that
    copying TCP, and setting the maximal value at 200ms would be a safe
    option. For now, however, leave it at 100ms to avoid unexpected
    side effects.
    
    hardAckDelay is not addressed by this patch set, as all ACK packets
    sent from the application thread are marked as delayed, and so
    currently have no part in computing RTT times. It is likely, however,
    that any changes to the hard ACK timeout should be very carefully
    considered.
