I had thought about something generic like kernel/power/main.c, but that is
indeed not needed since we do only have 2 options. This came out cleaner
than I though, although not generic...

hmmm... I'm afraid this is not enough... Although I just noticed that we
still have a problem for the low context strategy.

Please notice the intel_display_rps_boost_after_vblank...

So we probably need something like these:
https://github.com/rodrigovivi/linux/commit/42e24a146239a1b950ed047f619f334f5205ae8a

other than that I believe this is good, thanks for adding this

Thanks for adding the doc!
but now I'm missing the documentation of these new profile strategies in here...
