I just noticed something else when I went to apply the patch.  I would
have added the options to cyrus.conf so a typical entry would change
from:

  imap  cmd="imapd" listen="imap" proto="tcp4" prefork=0 maxchild=6000

to:

  imap  cmd="imapd" listen="imap" proto="tcp4" tcp_keepalive prefork=0 maxchild=6000

That way you could have a different keepalive setting for each service.
You've designed it so these settings go into imapd.conf .  Is that going
to work the same way?
