Sure, if you're not using opportunistic suspend then I don't think 
there's any real need for the userspace side of this. The question is 
how to implement something with the useful properties of opportunistic 
suspend without without implementing something pretty much equivalent to 
the userspace suspend blockers. I've sent another mail expressing why I 
don't think your proposed QoS style behaviour provides that.
