I'm skeptical that it's a good idea to add a module parameter for this.
See Daniel's rationale in
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2017-September/153690.html
. In particular, since we don't fully understand how this stuff works
yet, it's better for now to stick to changing the code for experiments.


In general, the output of

 modinfo -p amdgpu

is quite a horror show already, we should try to clean that up rather
than making it worse.
