[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Adjustable Render Power State policies

Cool... I'd like to see if Ouping and Mengmeng can work together to get
power & power numbers across a bunch of workloads for these policies.

Ouping & Mengmeng, can you run your usual battery of stuff against each
of these settings and report back the results?

Thanks,
Jesse
