Thierry pointed out that one of NVIDIA's downstream kernels uses a
timeout of 300 here, rather than 2000 above. Do you see a specific need
for this timeout for be 2000 rather than 300? It might be nice to be
consistent.

Olof, I notice you've already applied V1 of this, which has the return
statement issue. Can you replace it with this, or should Dmitry send an
incremental patch?
