You are absolutely right, I agree on all points. I completely missed that
intel_gpu_top already shows power. At this point it only shows power for
integrated, we need to switch it from the rapl interface to igt_power
interface, igt_power supports both integrated and discrete (integrated
using rapl and discrete using hwmon).

I might resumbit this patch as a test, but tools wise I think the direction
should be to extend intel_gpu_top to support discrete.

Thanks.
