Hi Chris/Daniel,

The patch is  helping in some of the side-effects due to gpu boost. I
still need to get more data. I will keep the thread updated.
Ping. Might as well review it, too.

Thanks

Adding Deepak for testing, this hopefully alleviates the bad
side-effects of the gpu booster he's seeing.

Make the assumption that media workloads are not as latency sensitive

engine. Under that assumption, we only wait to forcibly upclock the GPU
when we are stalling for results from the render pipeline.

Sorry for the delayed response. I am fine with this patch. This is helping us in some of the workload senarios.

Just one concern here. Since we are avoiding boost for Media related workload, we might end up running GPU at RPn. Which might impact media workload.
I think we need another patch to run GPU at RPe if the boost is not enabled for media.
