What happened to the discussion around multiple platforms needing
multiple bus pm_qos_requirements?

Is system bus freq too generic? (I'm worried about the name space)
Is this ok? (I'm asking linux-pm for input here.)
On X86 would this be analogous to FSB, Memory, or PCI bus frequencies?
What will happen when there are two buses each wanting a PM_QOS
parameter? Is that a likely scenario?

Also, on your platform you have a throttling driver controlling the
frequency of some bus, that will use this value as a constraint on how
far it will throttle. no? I would be interested in seeing this driver
sometime. (I just want to make sure no one bastardizes pm_qos into an
operating point thing. I'm not sure I can justify why but I want to
avoid that.)

Lets have a on list discussion around the above. Other than these I
don't see a problem with your patch. I would like to know that other Si
vendors have a need for it other than just yours and the
abstraction/naming is compatible to them as well.

I've never used or seen this syntax before. Is it C99? FWIW I like it.
