Yep, I would really like to merge this series. It's been in the making
for long enough. :)

I think we should just keep the 10sec timeout regardless of the number
of events. If we don't acquire the needed events after 10secs, it's
probably fine to give up.

A few notes inline.

	  timeout = msecs_to_jiffies(10 * 10000);

                          ^^ use timeout here

If we waited successfully, wait_for_completion_timeout will return the
remaining jiffies, so we can re-initialize the timeout with the return
value to shorten the next wait.

          timeout = ret;

If you end up here you need to return the already acquired completions,
by rolling back your for loop above and do a complete(&gpu->event_free)
for each acquired completion to avoid depleting the completion queue.
