Well, really it's the same formula that's been in use since forever for
watermarks. I think we have at least a couple of copies if that formula
in the wm code (should unify a bit at some point).

However to get DDR DVFS enabled we'll need to go quite a bit beyond
this. In the meantime I suppose we might try to just use the old formula
with some kind of pessimistic latency value (not sure where the 23usec
came from, last time I heard it was 33usec for DDR DVFS, and 11usec for
PM5). But that would probably mean we'd already need to hardcode the
drain latency to a small value. In fact the current drain latency
values we're using still seem insufficient in some cases.
