I think I've asked this before but don't remember it was clarified - 
what are the semantics of "active" with total active ticks? In other 
words considering activity timelines like:

1)
      0          1s
rcs0 |xxxxx-----|
bcs0 |-----xxxxx|

2)
      0          1s
rcs0 |xxxxx-----|
bcs0 |xxxxx-----|

Assuming 1s sampling, would the above formula correctly say 50% for both 
engines in both cases?

I am also curious if there are plans to add support to intel_gpu_top in 
which case please copy me on the required refactorings.

Tvrtko
