Hi Greg, Rafael, Danilo, Pavel, Len,

It has been over a month since I submitted this, so I just wanted to gently
ping this thread.

As a quick reminder, this parameter is highly beneficial for deployments
that prefer to establish strict latency constraints early in the boot
process, eliminating the need to rely on custom user-space tooling later
on.

Please let me know if you have any conceptual concerns with this approach,
if any further adjustments are required, or if you simply need me to rebase
and resend this against the latest power management tree.

Thank you for your time.


Kind regards
