On my retail kaveri (with latest bios...) it seems to track with load 
but isn't really accurate (it'll jump double digits back and forth)

Eitherway though if Samuel updates the patches to include a check for 
amdgpu_drm we should be able to commit them.

I've already created a patch for umr to read them, just waiting on the 
kernel side to land.
