There are real-time use cases where having deterministic CPU processes
can be more important than GPU power/performance. Parking the GPU at a
specific freqency by setting idle, min and max prohibits the normal
dynamic GPU frequency switching which can introduce significant PCI-E
latency. This adds the ability to configure the GPU "idle" frequecy
using the same method that already exists for minimum and maximum
frequencies.
In addition, parking the idle frequency may reduce spool up latencies
on GPU workloads.
