In v2 Daniel said that the use case was made up.  Can you elaborate on
why we need this?

Actually, it makes it harder to update from userspace.  Now userspace
can't set a k_po/k_pu any more, and it's forced to set them as ratios
of sustainable power. I'd rather not do this unless there is a good
reason for it.
