A powerzone ==> can read power && set power limit

Every CPU is a powerzone as well as the GPU.

They are all grouped under PKG_PZ.

That means we have:

 pkg
  |-- cpu0-3
  |
  |-- cpu4-7
  |
  `-- gpu

We can read the power consumption of cpu0-3, cpu4-7 or gpu and set their
power limit.

We can read the power consumption of pkg (which is the sum of the power
consumption of cpu0-3, cpu4-7 and gpu) and I can set the power limit
which will ensure powerof(cpu0-3 + cpu4-7 + gpu) <= powerof(pkg).
