The only current provider aggregates "avg" with "sum" and "peak" with 
"max", any particular reason to do something different? This function 
doesn't even really do aggregation, if there is a second request for "0" 
then the first request is lost.

I didn't find any docs but my interpretation of avg/peak is that "avg" 
is for constant traffic like a display or VPU pushing pixels and "peak" 
is for variable traffic like networking. I assume devices which make 
"peak" requests are aggregated with max because they're not expected to 
all max-out together.

In PATCH 11 you're making a bandwidth request based on resolution, that 
traffic is constant and guaranteed to happend while the display is on so 
it would make sense to request it as an "avg" and aggregate it with "sum".
