I'm still torn apart on this. On the one hand it's certainly useful for 
developers on the other hand module parameters are not meant to be used 
by developers, they are meant to be used by end users.

Now we have to ask what's the use case to disable soft recovery by an 
end user? I don't see any.

Maybe we can overload the amdgpu_gpu_recovery module option with this. 
Or even better merge all the developer module parameter into a 
amdgpu_debug option. This way it should be pretty obvious that this 
isn't meant to be used by someone who doesn't know how to use it.

Regards,
Christian.
