I may be misreading this, but it appears we are loosing the ability to set the initial pause state via a loader tunable. Would it be possible to preserve this feature by masking the IFM_ETHER_*PAUSE bits with the user's desired pause sate in the initial ifmedia_set() call?

Yes, this patch removes the sysctl way to set RX/TX pause frames. It is possible to have both sysctl and ifconfig.
