The actual tuning occurs within a thread and not when issuing
the tuning IOCTL. The only means to determine whether tuning
worked or not is inspection of the frontend events generated
within that thread. So, if the params are wrong, the IOCTL
can fail, but that's not the problem Alex is experiencing
where the params are correctly formed yet not supported in
the driver.

I did look at a means to expose supported params a while ago
but it's ugly so I haven't gone forward with it.
