Reminds me of mutter devs suggesting that we may like to kick the gpu to
max clocks high frequency on any input activity as well. (I'm still not
convinced that's a good idea, for mundane typing we barely need to wake
up the gpu. :) I guess it all depends on expected wakeup latencies, but
I didn't think PSR had multi-frame lag?
