Everything, except obvious GPU, should be explained. GMU is not really
that obvious:

OK. I still have concerns that it is just some magic hex value. Which
looks exactly how downstream code. No explanation, no meaning: neither
in property description nor in actual value (at least I could not spot it).

And why this is hex? Unit of "level" is either some logical meaning,
like "high" or "low", or some unit, e.g. Hertz or kBps. None of them are
hex values in real world.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
