How about an interface to change the timeout on a per engine (gfx, compute, 
dma, etc.) basis?
amdgpu.lockup_timeout=<global>,<gfx>,<compute>,<sdma>,<decode>,<encode>
if only one parameter is given, we change it globably.  If more are given, we 
override the global one.  Could also do a sysfs interface to change it on the 
fly.

Right. Also, there are already too many amdgpu module parameters, we
should try to remove some rather than adding new ones for every little
thing that could be tweaked. :)

One possibility might be to optionally allow passing multiple values to
lockup_timeout, e.g.

 amdgpu.lockup_timeout=10000,0

The first value would need to have the same meaning as now for backwards
compatibility.
