Understood max_per_pipe_ib. But then by the same logic, fix_core_ab_vote 
is always in Bps and not in KBps because bw_ctl is in Bps.

Is it really a discrepancy that fix_core_ib_vote is defined in KBps, 
while fix_core_ab_vote is defined in Bps because they are just following 
the units in which bw_ctl and max_per_pipe_ib were defined in resp.
