Correct.

I'll dig up and rebase my old patch which implements busy stats in GuC 
mode.

There are some occasional excursions over 15% tolerance even with 
execlists on small core. Bummer. Don't want to be playing up the 
tolerance game. I'll analyse in more detail and think what to do.

Do you have a link to BSW hang? Is that obviously related to PMU?
