I have no problem with Daniel's patch. It's just a matter of cutting
through some scheduler BS of "when the GPU wants to change frequency"

We already trace the interrupt, which has been invaluable in
debugging. And there is no other source currently... :)

No we do not trace it (/me is looking on cgit, so perhaps a bit error prone). Sure we trace GT interrupts, but not pm interrupts (again, unless I am missing something via code browsing on the web).

Furthermore, even if we have added a generic interrupt trace event and I've missed it: I think it's still nice to have a power/performance specific one for users like powerTOP, as opposed to driver developers.
