Actually, 15 seconds is not that far fetched. On radeon, I used to trigger the DRM counterparts of such a timeout quite regularly when doing heavy rendering on a PCI radeon 7000 (even though I increased it to 10 seconds instead of the default 3). Similarly, GPGPU processing can and will stall for multiple seconds. Specific drivers having the problem is a separate issue, but it would be really great if we don't spread it to the whole server. But really, the question is: what real issue are you fixing with this timeout?
