You should definitely update amdgpu.rst to include the new
documentation section.  As for whether to have separate sections or
one big section for the parameters, I could go either way.  If we have
one big section, people will likely forget to update it when they add
a new parameter.  On the other hand, if we have separate sections for
each option, people will likely forget to update amdgpu.rst to add the
new parameter.
