I think it's easier to catch the latter in review, and while it is
slightly annoying needing an entry for each parameter in amdgpu.rst,
maybe it can serve as incentive against needlessly adding new module
parameters. :)

Right now there's a third possibility, see the diff below as an example. By
referencing amdgpu_drv.c without a :doc: or :internal: stanza, each DOC
comment is picked up automatically, with the text after DOC as the
heading. However, this will break down if we want to add general DOC
comments or function comments in amdgpu_drv.c.


P.S. I cherry-picked some upstream fixes from the Documentation tree to
amd-staging-drm-next, make htmldocs works again.
