Yeah, that is what I was thinking.

Yes, I think so.  I think for APUs this will be handled under the
covers in the platform firmware going forward.

Right, a user could still adjust these via the existing sysfs
interface today, this just makes it a little more automatic.  I guess
it depends whether we want to couple them or not.
