It is not totally unbound as the heartbeat will kick in eventually and cause a reset of the hung engine. However, this does not work well in GuC submission mode. In GuC mode, the pre-emption timeout is how GuC detects hung contexts and triggers a per engine reset. Thus, disabling the timeout means also losing all per engine reset ability. A full GT reset will still occur when the heartbeat finally expires, but that is a much more destructive and undesirable mechanism. The purpose of the workaround is actually to give OpenCL tasks longer to reach a pre-emption point after a pre-emption request has been issued. This is necessary because Gen12 does not support mid-thread pre-emption and OpenCL can have long running threads. So, rather than disabling the timeout completely, just set it to a 'long' value. v2: Review feedback from Tvrtko - must hard code the 'long' value instead of determining it algorithmically. So make it an extra CONFIG definition. Also, remove the execlist centric comment from the existing pre-emption timeout CONFIG option given that it applies to more than just execlists.
