It seems not to be DRM specific, or even GPU specific. Would we have an universal control group for

any accelerator, GPGPU device etc, that hold sharable resources like device memory, compute utility,

bandwidth, with extra control file to select between devices(or vendors)?

e.g. /cgname.device that stores PCI BDF, or enum(intel, amdgpu, nvidia, ...), defaults to none,

means not enabled.
