SubjectRe: [PATCH] pm_qos: Add QoS param, minimum system bus frequency

Something generic would be nice that each architecture can interpet it
for something specific.

I am hoping this would be eqivalent to FSB.

Possibly. I am not sure how do we solve multiple instances with PM
QoS.

The notifier handler and the clock driver limits the bus frequency to
the max supported by the hardware.

What is an operating point thing?

In ARM architecture, I hope this parameter would be used for AXI/AHB
scaling and could be used by other Si vendors as well.
