So then it sounds like if any - it would make sense only on dGPU that isn't
using smart shift.

The key here is that any non-APU program won't have a path to influence
dGPU behavior via FW or smartshift will it?

So it could be useful to respond to a limited subset of hints that can be guaranteed to
mean the same.  Like maybe low power mode and balanced only, but don't
make changes going to high power mode?
