This looks like the right way to go long term.  But Paulo's patches for
HSW are fairly small and make things better immediately, so we should
probably get them in first.

This one needs to be split up somehow so we can review it better like
you mention in the TODO.

Another thing that I used when doing the WM code way back when was to
port it to userspace and run through various configs to make sure the
values were all sane.  Might be nice if we could do that easily
somehow, maybe with an #ifdef or putting all the wm stuff into a
separate file.
